Brian, partially freeze the cut of meat, about 30 mins will do. That'll make it easier to slice. You don't want it frozen all the way, just partially.

Bob is wise.

Sometimes I will buy the London Broil when it is on sale and freeze it. When I am ready to make my jerky, I thaw gradually in the refrigerator. When it is partially thawed, I slice it with a knife. I don't have/use a slicer.
