I saw this video and just had to make some jerky. I had two Top Round steaks that I cut into 3/16 inch slices using my meat slicer. I was able to get 51 slices that I seperated into 3 piles with 17slices in each pile. I marinated one pile in Teriyaki sauce, one in Hot and Spicy sauce, and one in Caribbean Jerk for 24 hrs. I sprinkled red pepper on the ones with Hot and Spicy sauce, and Teriyaki sauce. It took 4 hrs. on my gas smoker and Wow! They were awesome! Between my wife, my daughter and I, there aren't many left. I'll finish them later... Thanks for sharing this video. Perfect!
I have found that even if you can't get perfectly thin slices, you can just pound them flat with the meat tenderizer. It tenderizes as an added bonus haha
After the jerky is done I pat them dry of the surface oils with a paper towel. Great video. I usually use my Lem stainless steel dehydrator but now you have me wanting to do it in my Masterbuilt smoker. Thanks!!
A Funny Story about 20 years ago... I picked my daughter up she was about 10-12 and we went to the city to visit my sisters family... On the way to the city I talked to her about SMOKING drugs and that wasn't a smart thing to do... my daughter and me would find homeless people and give them money or pizza when we were in the city and I told her Drugs and Alcohol was sometimes a problem for these Homeless people.... A few days later the end of the long weekend I was taking my Daughter back home and my Brother in-law gave us some home made Smoked beef jerky for the ride home... as we were traveling home I asked my daughter if she knew how beef jerky was made... NO... so I told her you take raw beef strips and soak them in a flavor you like and you can make Hot one also then you take the Raw Meat and put it in a SMOKER and SMOKE IT.... she looked at me FUNNY and said IS THIS DRUGS !!! True Story :)
I have that same smoker!! Thanks for the guide! I actually have topround right now I planned on making jerky with, just needed to freshen up with afew videos
Jerky is one of my favorite snacks. It's one of the reasons I wanted a smoker. Definitely going to try this out! Two racks of jerky might last 2 days in my house. Ha!
Great video! I made some today. I used the top round cut, marinated for 24hrs in teriyaki sauce with minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Smoked for 4.5hrs with Applewood chips. Tastes just like the store bought stuff but without the sodium taste.
I put a batch of beef jerky on at 8am this morning lol. I use a Masterbuilt electric smoker set to 165 deg. It takes at least 7 hours here in south Florida because of the humidity here. Doing raspberry habanero and a cajun mix. Thanks for sharing Ry!
I've learned a lot from your videos! Thank you. I enjoy my jerky WAY different! But! I've been making mine for years now because of how you explained it
What a great idea. I love jerky, but the stuff in the stores tends to be harder and drier than I like and usually very salty. Time to fire up the electric smoker! Thanks, Ry.
Jerky! Wow, it's a staple in this household. I smoke some several times a season. If it was up to the family (and neighbors) I would be smoking some every week :-) And jerky has a very rich and colorful history in the US too.
I'm debating, I have a batch in the fridge tonight... Trying to decide between using my smoker, starting off with some smoke (when I mixed up my marinade, I forgot a couple drops of liquid smoke, a cardinal sin), then dropping the temp and let it go or... Using my good old Ronco style (the original, round tower) dehydrators (of which I have two) and running it about 12hrs. I have to admit that it makes a very good quality jerky, as the temp gets down to 135-45° or so and is very uniform and consistent. Great for truly dried, long term storage. Yet still not too tough, which can happen in the electric smokers. And they just sit on the counter top. I guess I'll have to sleep on it. lol Trying a new recipe. If I like it, maybe I'll try both smoker/dehydrators and run a batch and see how it fairs. Thanks for the video and tips. A "London broil" used to be cut from the sirloin cap and was very tender and delicious if you marinated it overnight in Teriyaki and pineapple juice (3parts to one), then grilled it, medium rare with some fresh, grilled pineapple rings. mmmm. Alas, if you try that with today's London broil, you'd be chewing it for a month. It's good for braising or jerky. That's it. A criminal act to include "broil" (a fine alternative to a grilling an L.B.) in the name. lol I come from a family of butchers, it was sirloin cap (tri tip can be used) for 100 years, then they "redesigned the cow" to make more money (and rip the customer). I highly recommend you go to your local butchers and ask them for a "real" London broil (tell them what it is but, if they're "real" butchers, they know) and try the Teriyaki steak. Even cold, the next day, it's amazingly tasty and tender. :) Sorry, I just get "testy" everytime I see round passed off as a "good cut." A final tip... If you create your own marinades, try substituting "Liquid aminos" for soy sauce. It much less salty and gives a better, more meat-complimentary flavor. 😀
Looks good Ryan. I love beef or turkey jerky. I keep watching you use the electric grill, and think I have to have one. Maybe in the spring. Thanks for your videos.
Tried to do jerky in that smoker aswell, first try sadly didnt quite work out. Its eatable but i did something wrong but watching that video i saw what i did wrong so thanks for that video. Next try will be better.
Hey Ry, great video. I have a Masterbuilt as well. Now with jerky do you prefer to leave the vent on the smoker open to allow moisture to escape more, or leave it closed to trap more smoke in there. Thanks buddy.
Best way I found to do jerky is in smoker for roughly 2 hours at 160-180 degrees. Then finish off in dehydrator until meat reaches 160 degrees. Perfect every time
Hi Ry ...so i have the Bradley digital smoker and it says not to put water in the bowl making jerky ...how do the pucks go out then and not smolder does the water hinder the dryness of the jerky
Hi I had trouble with high humidity in the smoker and found that the meat almost had a cooked texture to it . Should I have left the door cracked open or the wood chip plunger out to create air flow ?
Just found your channel and I really like it! Subbed right away. I have a bunch of bacon going in my smoker tomorrow, and Jerky the next day. Have you ever made Jerky with pork? Where I live I can get pork loins for cheap, and have made Jerky with it before and love it. If you haven't tried it you should make some!
Hello Ry.... I'm back again... wanted to know if you still Love this Electric Smoker. I'm thinking seriously about buying a smoker... but not sure if I just want to smoke on my pellet grill or this electric smoker... Let me know if you still like this Electric Smoker Thank you again for this great video.
On this electric model the chips don't need soaking, and I usually don't add more since I get about 2 hours from that initial load and for me that's enough smoke :)
Inspiration, that's what this video gave me. I don't have the insulated smoker you have but I do have a Big Chief smoker. Any tips you have for a Big Chief would be appreciated. I'm getting it out for tomorrow.

How crazy is that?
Good video Ry.
Thanks! It's the power of the jerky :)
Nice call Ry. I added one single drop of The Source pepper extract into the marinade. Turned out awesome.

You cant go wrong with that! I'd like to try that marinade with the spicy maple syrup and teriyaki...that is perfect for jerky.
I really like that Ghost Maple Syrup :)
Last jerky I did, I put it on rack wet and set dehydrator to 65c. 7 hours gave me a perfect product. Would love a smoker
Thanks, Ry. I appreciate your videos.
Looks great Ry! I really need to try to make my own jerky. Good stuff

Thank you very much Sr for sharing your knowledge and experience. Great work.
When I start eating jerky I can't stop.
Yeah, I'm part of that club, too :)
Ate 3 pounds Last time wife left the house

I like mine salty, dry, and tough😂
Thanks for the share I've never done this but I will now with my smokers
didnt even think of doing this what a awesome tutorial thanks man!
Sir,
Great videos. I’m excited to try this recipe.
I love beef jerky and can't wait to start making my own. Great video and thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Bob will give smoker a try i now use a nesco dehydrator about 5 hrs at 160 and my own marinade
Thank you for a great and informative video! Will definitely give this recipe a shot.

Awesome! I'm making some more this weekend for a new video :)
@@CookingWithRy mine turned out wonderful I will be doing this again soon . I'm gonna double everything next time !!!!
Thanks for the good info Ry
I've got a couple pounds of jerky in my MES at the moment. I hang my jerky instead of placing on the racks. Got two plus pounds hanging form one rack.
Thanks for the video I will try it this weekend
Earned a sub, just got a smoker and I'm so excited to give this a go
Looks good Ryan. I love beef or turkey jerky. I keep watching you use the electric grill, and think I have to have one. Maybe in the spring. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for the tips. Trying this today
Trying it today! Thank you for your help!
Love making jerky either ground or whole muscle ! Great job Ry !
I've never done the ground meat jerky thing, but I really need to give it a try :)
I'm interested in the ground jerky. Please explain or, recipe. Thank you very much.
This looks really good. I'm definitely going to try it. 🙂
I smoked sum salmon yesterday w/ cherry and apple chips and apple juice!
turned out really good though I put in after the smoke around 2 1/2 hours
I'm doing the same today. It's nice to find a use for my electric cooker!
I love doing jerky in mine :)
So far so good. Got a couple more hours to go haha
Why is his voice so soothing
I gargle with honey :)

BAHAHAHAHAHA
Could you please experiment and do beef jerky made out of ground beef in the electric smoker?
Thank you for the great video! My kids are the same way with jerky 🤣 I have an electric smoker and can’t wait to try this!
Looks awesome nice job gotta try this with a nice London broil 🤙
Excellent!!! And I have the same smoker!!
I just did 5 pound deer neck roast today, I did mine at 165 for 4 1/2 hrs. came out perfect.
Venison jerky. Haven't had that in a long time :)
I'm gonna do my elk neck this week...

I prefer it open 👍
Guess I’m headed to the store for London Broil today! On sale for 2.99. Great idea! Thanks Ry.
I grab it at that price, too!
Hey Jerky! Another great video Ry!
Thanks!
From one Seattle U Redhawks Dad (2002) to another, the jerky looks great. Something I need to do.
Go Redhawks! My daughter actually requested that I make this batch so she could take it back to school after winter break :)

I like my jerky the same way..thanks for sharing!!
i gotta try this Ry,,my son and I love jerky...if i can pull it off..cheers !
You can totally do it. Very easy :)
Great tutorial, thanks!

So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Best way I found to do jerky is in smoker for roughly 2 hours at 160-180 degrees. Then finish off in dehydrator until meat reaches 160 degrees. Perfect every time
Thank you, I'll try w/o ghost pepper.
Hi Ry ...so i have the Bradley digital smoker and it says not to put water in the bowl making jerky ...how do the pucks go out then and not smolder does the water hinder the dryness of the jerky
I'm not familiar with the Bradley. In my electrics the wood chips smolder in an enclosed container separated from any water.
How far or close to the heat sorce do you put the wood chips and meat
~Great video, thanks for the info~
Hi I had trouble with high humidity in the smoker and found that the meat almost had a cooked texture to it . Should I have left the door cracked open or the wood chip plunger out to create air flow ?
I’m not sure. Too much airflow with a smoker that uses wood chips can actually ignite them. It’s happened to me.
Que buena receta felicitaciones
Do you reload chips during the smoke?
I haven’t found that to be necessary.
Love your videos...Thank you for all the info!!!!😊
Thank! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Great video looks yummy
Than you, Ry! One of my favorite snacks is this jerky you taught me to make. I appreciate you, sir!

It’s time for me to make some on my wsm.
TFS!👍
Look for a video over at T Roy Cooks channel. He did some on a WSM a while back :)
Thanks Ry! I did see that a month or so ago👍
During the smoking process are you adding chips to keep the smoke up or do you soak and or both?
On this electric model the chips don't need soaking, and I usually don't add more since I get about 2 hours from that initial load and for me that's enough smoke :)
Excellent. . . . I’m making some today ! BTW, how do you keep your racks so clean. Mine are black and discussing looking.
I just soak and clean them after each use and spray a little canola oil on them between uses :)
11:15 When I take my jerky out of the smoker and put in on a cutting board inside, I just look at it. Would ya look at that. Just look at it.
I'm still staring at a framed photo of it :)
Makin jerky tonight Ry. I’ll be fishing by 5am. Thanks for the vid.
Sounds like ed bassmaster lol
Can you add seasoning before putting the beef in your smoker, after the drying process?
I've only seasoned it at the beginning.
Looks very tasty! Can this be done on say a Foreman indoor/outdoor electric Grill?
If you can hold a lower temp around 160 it should work reasonably well 😊
@@CookingWithRy OK great, I'll give it try and let ya know the results! Thanks again and your jerk looks delicious. Take care.
I am trying to do Moose today. Would it have to cook longer? Should I put water in smoker to keep it moist would that help?
It's leaner so it should dry more quickly, like venison, I imagine. Adding moisture will slow it down. You want that drying action.
I finally bought a smoker. Now I will try your recipe for jerky first. But I will be experimenting lol
I just receive my bradley smoker yestherday, my question is can i use my bisquettes for 20min just to geave the smoke flavor i want?
I’m not familiar with the Bradley, but if you can limit the smoke time to your liking that should work.
I have heard if you use curing salt it will give the jerky a longer shelf life.
That’s one potential method but it requires a precise ratio to the meat weight.
How did you put the meat in the freezer, do you wrap it in something, or just set it on a pan and leave uncovered?
I just let it rest flat on a tray :)
@@CookingWithRy Thank you!
I have the same smoker. How many cups of wood chips are you using in the smoker box ? I filled mine up to the top and it made my jerky inedible.
I usually fill it up about half way.
Hey what if I put some baking soda in the marinade? Is that going to make the meat too soft or will they fall apart?
Awesome. Trying it with terayaki soon too, curious how it’ll taste!
Teriyaki is a perfect marinade for it :)
I have kc master piece honey teriyaki.. will that work ?? What kind do you use specifically?
Any one you like will work fine. I've used different ones over the years :)
Exactly like I like mine too. Great video.
Thank you :)
Great tips thanks yummy !🤤
That's the way I like my jerky. Two thumbs up.
Awesome video for reference thank you
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Inspiration, that's what this video gave me.
I don't have the insulated smoker you have but I do have a Big Chief smoker.
Any tips you have for a Big Chief would be appreciated. I'm getting it out for tomorrow.
Just manage that temp in the lower range as best you can and give it time. It should work just fine :)
@@CookingWithRy Thank you Sir
@@CookingWithRy I got the Chief out... talk about filthy... should work fine. Pulled out some elk round steak to use. Mouth is already watering.
