BEEF JERKY!!!!

It took 6 hours to dehydrate.  I rotated the trays every hour because the bottom tray dries the fastest and the top tray the slowest.  I also moved the pieces around, putting the more done ones on the top tray.  It's a good thing I did the mango and the daikon first, so I knew what to expect. 

It turned out moister and oilier than I expected.  I ended up frying all the pieces on really low heat to try to get it crispier, but it pretty much stayed about the same texture  . . . probably because of the cut of meat and the sugar in the marinade.  Tastewise, it turned out really ono. So I deem this experiment . . . a success!!  I think next time I'll go for a leaner cut like flank steak and maybe a dry, spicy rub.




You can see how this piece is kinda moist.  I'm even storing it in the 'fridge 'cause I'm afraid of it spoiling.


Here's a leaner piece.


And a fattier one.


Here's Kona waiting to sample. He REALLY liked it. 


Here's what I did with my failed daikon.  I haven't tried it yet, but couldn't be worse than what it used to taste like.


I used a spoonful of this sauce that I picked up at Palama Market.
