If I use thinly sliced lean steak and use this as a marinade, can I make real jerky? I'm not sure why I'm asking, I'm going to do it anyway .

I nut the already sliced beef for tacos at Wal-Mart or get London broil and slice it. Delicious!!!!!!

I've never used thinly sliced meat to make jerky, I use ground meat and a dehydrator since this is a dry mix

Yes I have never made jerky from ground beef with this seasoning.. jusy slice against the grain thin slices and matinate with water and spice mix overnight... packets do give instructions also.. have never used with venison but I'm 100% sure it would be great!

it would be ok but do not use a lot or marinate for a long time - the meat will become mushy

Did you ever buy the Hamilton Beach knife as I need to buy one for the same purpose...slightly frozen beef to cut for making jerky. I'm doing the Fast metabolism Diet by Hallie Pomroy and lost three pounds the first week and seems like all I do is eat. The jerky will be a easy snack and I made it with ground beef but will want to cut it very thin.

That's what we use it for, though we usually make wild game jerky. Marinate the meat and then use the smoker. We don't use wood chips when making jerky.

i have only used it a few times since i bought it ,and just with beef but it does seem to reduce the thickness some after you put it through the tenderizer. it does work good for me with the beef but you'll have to experiment a little and see for your self, hope this answer helps you out.

I do, absolutely. Meat jerky goes on the highest temp, but other things, like herbs, fruits, and vegetables, use a lower temp. I personally only use the high setting to make chicken jerky for my dogs, but I may try some other things for them, like apples or sweet potatoes. Also, I would buy a set of extra trays, I always fill them up. If you like ground beef jerky, also get the gun. It's fun to use, and turns out something akin to a slim jim.

We only make jerky out of marinates. Sometimes we even make our own. Never tried a dry rub. The jerky always comes out great.

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.

I think this would work great for creating cubed steak. I really like using mine for tenderizing steak.

Yes it will work fine for jerky. Same reason I bought mine. Lots of good recipes out there.

it won't Create Cube steak like from the Butcher...however you can create very tender Cube Steak Like out of cheaper cuts of beef. One of the most important tools in my kitchen...I use on beef, chicken, pork

The only way I have used it is to mix in dry with ground meat. It may be possible to mix with water and use as marinade for meat slices but i haven't tried that method.

Oh yeah, absolutely. It definitely depends on your recipe (whether you use a marinade, etcetera) but it can definitely crisp.

We have used it on cooked steak and as a sauce on an alternating sliced tomato, mozzarella platter. I have not used as a marinade

We recently bought this machine for the sole purpose of making Beef Jerky. We tried it a couple of times without much success. After calling Tribest about our dissatisfaction, they informed us that the machine does not get hot enough to cook Beef Jerky from raw meat. You need to cook the meat first and then dehydrate it.

I use ground turkey for making jerky. I could easily load 4 lbs at a time, 5 if I tried.. of course using ground meat may be different than sliced meat as far as weight goes. It could depend upon thickness etc. .
