Thanks. Lots of great tips. Will try your recipe soon for sure. I looked for dales sauce at costco, no joy.

Very cool!

Good advice about how to slice the meat vs. grain orientation. For my marinade, I use a bottle of soy sauce and a half bottle of liquid smoke. Or, you can use low sodium soy sauce but, like you, I think the regular soy sauce makes a better jerky. I don't worry too much about salt intake when I'm exerting myself.

I can't find Dale's either.. good to know of another marinade recipe.. what else do you add besides liquid smoke and soy? Any other spices?

here is a dales option online: Dales Seasoning

Another good liquid marinade is Allegros (https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&q=allegros+marinade&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwir_JL-5I7XAhUCFJAKHbhUADsQBQjpAigA&biw=1280&bih=604).

^^Links above to buy both online^^

Try Walmart. They carry it online.

That is both Dales and Allegro.

Dale's is not a healthy product IMO. Soy, corn syrup, sugar, MSG. No need for those. Borderline toxic.
Why not just use pepper, garlic powder, and salt?

Really, I make jerky all the time with no sugar. It tastes like meat, not candy. How it should be...

No. Just a bottle of soy sauce and half a bottle of liquid smoke but you could add whatever tastes good to you.

Believe it or not, I first heard that recipe from an infomercial with Ron Popiel (Yes, that Ron Popiel of the Popiel Pocket Fisherman and a hundred other infomercial products.) while he was selling some must-have cooker, smoker, broiler, dehydrator table top appliance.

one word of caution: when dehydrating this recipe indoors, the liquid smoke makes the house smell like a campfire. SWMBO "prefers" that I dehydrate jerky out in the garage.

Good tidbit about the smell... thanks.

Dales is nasty stuff, Beyond salty. No idea how it has become so popular here (made in my home town) or elsewhere. The family attempted a restaurant a few years ago, it failed.
I prefer peppery marinade for my jerky.

Gambit just bought a jerky gun...This will be used to make the "ground beef" Jerky often seen commercially vaccum sealed with a stick of cheese...As this is one of my favorite trail snacks, the beef stick and cheese combo so I am very excited to be able to recreate this as a homade version now for hiking trips :)
