Jerky is almost a chip. What happened?
Decided to make this recipe out of the Dehydrator cook book that came with it. Followed the exact recipe, and marinated the beef overnight. I will say I might have cut it a little less then 1/4in, but it wasn't much off that measurement. (recipe below)
Never had this 'issue' before, but as you can hopefully tell by the video, it is SUPER crunchy. Not overly chewy (though it does have a nice chew once you chew it enough), but it almost feels like biting into a chip. It not bad by any means, has really good flavor, and I kinda like the chip texture. But I was wondering if anyone knows where I went wrong. My guess is that 6 hours in the dehydrator at 165F might be the culprit lol.
