Any of you made jerky before? I bought a couple nice eye of rounds at Costco today and am going to make up some marinades. I have a Traeger smoker, but also a dehydrator, and can't really find if one's better than the other, so I'm going to try both methods and compare. I figure if the dehydrator wins on tenderness, I can always add some liquid smoke to the marinade going forward.

MW, here's my technique. I hope it helps:
Whisk Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, paprika, honey, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl. Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Transfer beef to paper towels to dry. Bake beef in the preheated oven until dry and leathery, 3 to 4 hours.

So all in all it came out pretty good. I made a few different marinades and did all of it in the dehydrator, which worked well. I have some marinated strips left that I'm going to do on the smoker to compare. Reid I'll give your marinade a shot on the next round. I did one batch with the packets that came with the dehydrator, and that definitely tastes the most like store-bought beef jerky, but it's pretty salty. Another batch was a mixture of sambal oelek and Yoshida's, one was soy/worcestershire with roasted garlic pepper and red pepper flakes, and the one I haven't done yet was my spicy Mexican style, which was basically a mixture of taco sauce and Tapatio.
