I've saved my answer to this, with a link, will just keep trotting it out, that way I don't lose it either.

"The basic principle is: just cut your meat thin with the grain, soak for a few seconds in super salty water, and let dry. Recipes get better by adding onion powder and garlic powder, hot sauce, etc. While drying you can add loads of pepper this also keeps off the flies. If applying light heat somehow like smoking, be mindful that you are drying, not cooking, the meat. No, you didnt miss anything, the basic idea of jerky is really simple don't let the people selling contraptions make you think any different."

Lol...I wish I could help you out, but I never make jerky the same way twice. My recipies are usually just a mish-mash of whatever marinades, sauces, and spices I have in the cupboards at that time. I haven't run into a bad recipe yet by making it that way. I usually taste the marinade throughout the mixing process though to see what it may need (if it needs to be sweeter I'll add some brown sugar or BBQ sauce, if it needs to be a little more salty, I'll add salt or soy sauce, for a little spice, I add crushed red pepper, black pepper, tobasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and/or franks hot sauce, for smokey flavor you can add liquid smoke or whiskey, for boldness and a little tangy, italian dressing and A1 sauce works pretty well.) Good luck!

I make deer jerky all of the time, I usually just throw a lot of things together such as soy sauce, worchestishire sauce, Dale's seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, tobasco sauce, and alot of other things.

Here's one of the recipes that I think is one of my favorites.

This recipe is for 2-3 pounds venison. There is no hot pepper seasoning added to this recipe, so it's nice and mild. The liquid smoke can be left out if you dry this one in the smoker.

1/4 cup of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of Tender Quick®
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of liquid smoke

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Combine the marinade and the venison, and refrigerate overnight. Drain the strips of venison well before dehydrating.

I also don't use a dehydrator or a smoker, i use my oven. It's just as easy and takes less longer than with a dehydrator or smoker. Just turn the oven on low (140-170.cIt usually takes 5-6 hours to finish.

I hope you enjoy it! I know I do!
