Well, you have the most important piece already! I used to dry strips of venison for jerky, but since I got a Prago Jerky Kit, I've come to fully appreciate the texture of ground-venison jerky. It doesn't kill my jaws to chew it!

For seasoning, I live near Hi-Country in western Montana (http://www.hicountry.com/), so I often use their seasonings. They are delicious.

For an at-home recipe, don't be afraid to soak your meat in a generous helping of Liquid Smoke!

I would start with beef and once you're satisfied with your recipe, switch to your wild game. My personal favorite beef cut to use is eye of round roast. it's easy to get a good slice out of it, and it's usually not too so fatty, so you don't have to trim out as much fat from it. That being said, start with about 1½-3 lbs of beef. Slice it about 1/4" thick, making sure to cut with the grain. Cutting across the grain will make your jerkey fall apart as you pick it up.

Next you'll make a marinade. I like this one...

2 c water
2 Tbsp garlic
3 Tbsp onion
1 Tbsp pepper
4 Tbsp salt
6 Tbsp Tabasco Chipotle sauce
1 Tbsp Liquid Smoke

Tweak it all to your own taste, and boil it down. after it cools, add your beef in a gallon-size ziplock bag and get out as much air as you can. Marinate anywhere from overnight to a day and a half. Put it on your dehydrator. Make sure you rotate the dehydrator rack shelves about once an hour until you see it getting really dark. When you pull the pieces off the rack, they should seem almost crisp. As they cool, they will slightly moisten again. With my dehydrator, it takes about 8 hours. After the first 6 hours I start taking off the most "done" pieces, as some are not cut quite as thick as others.

My grand-dad has been using this recipe for over 15 years now. I finally started to make my own from the same one. By far the best I have ever had.

Start out with a London Broil roast (I use 6-7 lbs, filled 7 racks). Trim off as much fat as possible. Slice while still slightly frozen into 1/4" pieces. Being partially frozen makes it easier to handle. Marinade in the following for at least 12 hours, more if desired.

Marinade Recipe (All measures Per Pound)
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 cup Soy Sauce
1 Pound meat

Multiply that by size of your meat. I usually start on a Friday night and refrigerate over night for roughly 14-16 hours. Takes between 6-8 hours drying time depending on the thickness.
