Hi Jim...I've made jerky many times in my Ronco dehydrator.
First, you get the leanest beef you can buy; I like rump roast. I have the
butcher slice it for me into strips of whatever thickness I want.
Then you cut off any visable fat. After that, you marinate it in any of the
several hot/spicy etc. marinades you'll find online. Add some liquid smoke
to the marinade if you like that flavor. I usually marinade it overnight.
Next day, load it onto the trays of the dehydrator. Rotate trays as usual.
It will take a variable amount of time depending upon how thick you have
those slices but keep it moving so you don't get spoilage. I also store the
jerky in the freezer anyway, just in case there is still moisture remaining
and I don't want it to spoil or mold.
That's it...easy and soooo tasty.
