Anyone have a good jerky recipe they are willing to share? Never made any and want to try this weekend.

I mostly eyeball measurements, so sorry if you need specifics.

My standard is 1/8 cup soy sauce, 1/8 cup worchesteshire sauce, heap of black pepper, half a heep? of garlic powder and onion powder, pinch of cayenne, pinch of MSG, pinch of sugar (or about a teaspoon of honey).

Mix all that up and use it as a marinade for up to 1lb of beef. At least 4 hours before dehydrating/smoking/cooking.

I also like 1/8 cup soy sauce, 1/8 cup Frank's wing sauce, heap of pepper, half heap of garlic powder and celery salt.

Last, 1/8 cup soy sauce, slightly less than 1/8 cup sirracha, tablespoon of lime juice, tablespoon of honey, heap of five spice. Or you can replace the five spice with normal pepper, garlic, onion.

Much like the previous poster, I don't measure but go by how it looks as I season things.

I only use eye of round for my beef jerky and cut it across the grain and will usually get between 45-50 slices out of an eye of round roast.

I use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, a bit of my homemade habanero hot sauce, ground cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika.

I season the meat well and make sure to thoroughly mix it up so all pieces are coated, cover it with saran wrap and let it marinade in the fridge for no less than 24 hours. Then I smoke it on my homemade big box smoker till done to my liking.

You can do it on a dehydrator and it will likely take less time, but you won't have that smoke flavor that really sets it apart.

After I'm done seasoning and mixing the meat, I will take small pieces cut from the slices to taste and I want it salty and on the slightly hot side with the use of my hot sauce and know the flavors will intensify as the meat dries out.

This was really good for deer, multiple times. I cut into pieces, then smack with a mallet just to even out thickness and tenderize a bit. A day or so in the bag, then in the oven at 170 on a rack for a while until they look done.
