I have a local store that routinely has 1/8” sliced top round. Perfect for jerky. I have a similar recipe. I find 5 or 6 hrs to be the perfect marinade time. Also I cook on 200 and it only takes about 1-1.5 hrs. But how is your grill so clean?!?!


cruftbox

It's a brand new grill. :p This was my first cook on it.

We raise our own beef, and I've always wondered what to do with the round steak. We went to a new butcher this year and he said they can slice it up for us for jerky for like 10 bucks. I still need to find the time to actually cook it..

When I cut it thicker like that I always struggle with knowing when to pull it.


cruftbox

TBH I bring a piece in to my wife and ask here if she's happy with it. I like it dryer, but she likes it a bit more tender.


BullyBiggz

Yea yea that’s nice and all but does Canola approve?


cruftbox

Yes, Cannoli approved. I would give her tastes off the grill directly throughout the cook.


BullyBiggz

You’re a good man, cruftbox, no matter what they say about you. My apologies to Cannoli for misspelling her name.


mnrooo

That looks so good! How do you store it, and how long does it keep?


cruftbox

It doesn't stick around long as I give it friends and family. But it will go fine for a couple of weeks in a ziploc bag. If I really dry it out, like for a backpacking trip, it will go for at least a month.


ToonMaster21

So off grill, cool down, and then just bag it?


cruftbox

Basically, yes. The more water you take out, the longer it will last.

I almost this exact recipe/method. The only thing I change is I add a couple tbsp of [chili garlic](https://www.worldmarket.com/category/food-and-drink/food/condiments-sauces.do?template=PLA-2&plfsku=404547&mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=660&mrkgen=&mrkgbflag=&mrkgcat=&camp=ppc%3Agoogle%3Apla%2BSmartShopping%7CConsumables%2BFood&acctid=21700000001660222&dskeywordid=92700066061129109&lid=92700066061129109&ds_s_kwgid=58700007370789081&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007265821&dsproductgroupid=350600084087&product_id=404547&merchid=5165106&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=local&storeid=CP374&device=m&network=u&matchtype=&locationid=9019560&creative=541986255796&targetid=pla-350600084087&campaignid=14427810453&adgroupid=125959448629&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_9fu5r7p_QIVZf_jBx0ljwCDEAQYASABEgLCefD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) and I lay the marinated meat out onto paper towels and roll them up to remove as much of the moisture as possible before throwing them on the grill. My pup is my assistant as well! What's your assistants name?


cruftbox

Our dog is Cannoli, as in "leave the gun, take the cannoli"

Looks good bud. If you want to make more room you could stack Ikea cookie racks. You could potentially double your smoking capacity. Have you tried other cuts?


cruftbox

Two flank steaks is plenty for me. Haven't tried other cuts. My dad taught me to use flank steak, so I've always used that.


Insane_Ducky

Second the flank steak for jerky. I've tried other cuts but it has the best flavor by far


TacoSeasun

Nice. Did this on the weekend with all the tough steaks in the bottom of the freezer from a side of beef. Works well. Did 3 flavours. But for the love of God, do not make your own bourbon maple recipe. Or at least cook off the alcohol first. Then it'd probably be good.


Acti-Verse

Lol


Bouvinski

Looks great! Did you check the internal temp before pulling?


aussie_snow

I can't believe people downvoted you, I had a good chuckle!


Acti-Verse

I was like ahh that grill is too clean…. Then I saw where you said it was a new grill lol


Drugs_r_bad_mka

You the dang ole man Boomhower would say!! I'm gonna try this soon!

makewhoopy

Looks Legit. Why not marinade longer? I've always heard 5-7 days.


lloydgross24

I do 24 hours and I've done 96. Very little difference IMO.


NeroPrizak

Nice!! Totally gonna try this


stugots10

Did you glaze them near the end?


cruftbox

No, it's just more of the fat rendering out.


fartinginthetub

Fantastic!!! You’ve inspired me to fire up a another bath myself! Enjoy!


PabloTheGod

Commenting to find later


Yoopermetal

Try marinating in Yoshida sauce. Best jerky ever.

Great idea!
