I searched and didn't find any jerky threads. I've tried several recipes off the net that were supposed to be "so good" and "delicious". But they didn't impress me. Anybody got a simple and kick-arse recipe? Simple meaning I don't want to spend $40 on fifteen different spices.

I'm sure with Cad's great steak aging recipe he also has a recipe for taking meat and leaving it in the sun on a tin can to dry out. Mmmmmm tasty.

go buy a dehydrator and put crab boil (not liquid) on the beef like a rub. in a few hour/days itll be delicious.

I make a mean jerky in my dehdrater. Been using the same recipe since sophomore year in high school (12 years) and i still manage to eat the whole thing in a day.

1 cup Worcestershire
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Tabasco
1/2 - 1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon tony's
1 teaspoon chinese red pepper
2 tablespoons hickory liquid smoke
a little dried parsley
1/2 to 1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon of sugar

And i'll throw in something different every time, like Allegro, Pickapeppa sauce, Crystal Vinegars in hot pepper, flaked red pepper, italian dressing etc...

Let marinate overnight
Put in dehydrator about 8-10 hours.

It's a little salty, so you can adjust, i've been reducing the amount of salt over the years.

Get an eye of round cut of meat - trim off as much fat as possible, then put it in the freezer for a half hour or so, then pull it out and slice it thin (freezing it a bit will help with slicing) - I marinate it in soy sauce, worchestshire sauce, and whatever seasonings you like.

I just make mine in the oven b/c it's the cheapest - lay the slices out over the top grate in the oven and cover the lower grate with foil to catch drippings. Put it on the lowest setting, and crack the oven door open. Leave it in for 6-8 hours - you can tell when it's done by bending it.

I just pick up a round steak. But all the ingredients in one tupperware container, cut the meat into 1" wide by 4" long strips and let it sit.

This is how I've made it. I've also put a toothpick through one end and hung it from the rack.

Good stuff.

Does not compute.

I have a dehydrator but I prefer mine in a smoker. I don't use the drip pan when I make it. Get it to 225 and let the strips get a good smoke flavor, about 30 minutes. I put foil underneath and loosely on top and let it go for about an hour until the meat is tender.

As for the recipe itself, I change it up from time to time but it usually includes soy and Worcestershire.

This is how I do it. No need for dehydrator.
I make it during the winter because you have to prop the oven door open with a metal spoon to allow moisture to escape overnight.

My dad does. He cooks food on the grill then leaves it on to "keep the food hot" and then tells us that dinner was served hours ago. I've eaten chicken breasts the size of a deck of cards.

I've made this several times and everybody raved about it...if you find a decent butcher he will even slice the brisket real thin for you. Makes a lot bc you have to buy a whole brisket but your friends will be impressed...
