Thumbs up from the jerky junkie (that would be the boyfriend...)! The seasonings don't overpower the flavor of the meat; we used Tabasco's Chipotle flavored sauce for some smoke flavor and threw in a little Liquid Smoke for good measure - very nice seasoning blend! Thanks, Tish, for suggesting your recipe to me! -
Tish -- This was a total hit with the whole family. Made it about 6 months ago and have listened to requests to get another roast and make some more ever since. In fact the 3 pounds of meat were gone in just 3 days last time. Just had to come back and search for THIS recipe again. Was going to use my dehydrator last time, but your instructions were so clear and the results were so incredibly good, that I'll use the oven again (and again.) The roast is sliced and marinating now... Tomorrow there will be 5 happy (jerky) people in our house. This is a winner and saved to my RecipeZaar cookbook, so I don't waste time trying to find it again. I may make changes to the basic recipe for variety... but won't deviate too much. Thanks for this GREAT recipe! 2/1/09 -- can't tell you how many times we've made this recipe now. My 16 year old son does variations of his own, but it is GREAT! Thanks again!!! -

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
