Mmm....Jerky!!!I make plenty of this throughout the year and make it a couple of ways. If you are slicing thin your meat, then here is a marinade to try out. I'll even put my meat in a vacuum sealer container to really suck out all the air and saturate the meat...but it is not necessary. This can work for beef, venison, goose, pheasant...etc.1 1/2 to 2lbs beef, sliced 1/4 inch thick.marinate for 12-24 hours.1/4 cup soy sauce.1/4 cup worcestershire sauce.1-2 tsp liquid smoke.1 tbl seasoned salt.1 tsp garlic powder.1 tsp onion powder.1 tsp black pepper (more if you like).1 cup water.Jerky Cure (Sometimes I find liquid smoke with this in it, otherwise I add it per instructions on cure)put meat in bowl and mix ingredients and pour over meat. stir several times during the 12-24 hours.dry to like regular jerky. The second way I make jerky is actually grind it up in a meat grinder (this is my preferred method) A lot of times I will mix a 50/50 mixture of venison with 93% lean beef and use "Shore Lunch" brand jerky seasoning. Cracked Pepper and Garlic and Original are tasty. I have also used the nesco brand seasonings and those are alright also. On the Hot and Spicy....I add a little extra Cayenne Pepper powder to zing it a little more. Anyway, mix it all up with cure, I normally let it sit overnight in the fridge to really take in the flavor, and then just use a jerky cannon and shoot it out on a dehydrator. By using the ground up stuff....the jerky doesn't turn out near as much like shoe leather and you can chew it a lot easier without making your jaw sore.

I have been using a 2:1 mixture of ground beef and ground turkey and been using the Nesco brand cure and original seasoning. I mix it up, shove it in the jerky gun and spit out strips onto my Nesco brand food & jerky dehydrator for 10-15hrs @ 160°F. Easy, perfect jerky everytime!

I don't think there is such a thing as an almighty recipe for me! Seems as though every time I create a new batch of jerky...I am changing something. It's like the quest for the holy grail!Good luck!
