    I have to say that I was skeptical at first when trying this out. It is an absoloutly WONDERFUL recipe. The flavor of the jerky it made was like no jerky I have ever had before! A+

    To chris cook,

    How did you modify it?

    Thanks,
    Josie

    Great recipe.. I did alter it a little though. I added 1 table spoon unpacked brown sugar and a dash of garlic because I tasted the marinade and thought it needed a little something. The best thing about it was that when you first bite into it, it was a traditional jerky, but after you got into it you could taste a hint of lime and what a great flavor blast! Very Good!

    What else can I say!

    hi I’ve just made my own dehydrator and was wondering if i need to cook my meat before drying and if so how long. thanks in advance.

  8. by Larry J

    I am new at making jerky. But from the reviews, it looks like this is the first one I am going to try. Any recommendations for other recipes?

    This is hands-down the best Jerky I have ever had. I used London Broil, partially frozen then sliced cross grain and marinated over night. Dehydrated at 155 degrees F for 4 hours in my new Excaliber 3926T. Thanks for the recipe!

    I modified this recipe after trying it as stated above. Judging from those who tried the modified version it was a huge success. The only things I changed were:

    1. Substituting Bragg Liquid Aminos for the Soy sauce.
    2. Ginger paste instead of grated ginger.
    3. 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt.
    4. 1/2 teaspoon Iguana Red cayenne pepper sauce.

    Even my wife liked it and she is not a jerky fan at all.

  13. by ROBERT

    This was the best recipe I have tried in many years! must try this one

  14. by Bill

    I made several batches of this this past weekend, it’s a HUGE success. Friends and co-works were amazed. Try this with a London Broil slice 1/4 inche thick the length of the meat. You’ll get strips about 5 inches wide and 8 inches long. It’s a meal.

    I read cooking spray? Is it Pam? Do you marinate , then spray the beef?

  16. by nicolas

    Hi, I’m asking my self if I could make this recipe by smoking my beef instead of desidrating it ? Please answer on my hotmail

    I’m new to making jerky. I’ve read many receipes. Do I have to add some type of “cure” each time or is the ingredients listed enough?

  18. by Kevinthenurse

    After all the great comments, I just had to try this one! I even threw in the brown sugar and garlic that Chris Cook mentioned. It was GREAT. I got tons of compliments from coworkers on how great it tasted. I know what all the guys will be getting a pound of for the holidays!!!!!!!

  19. by Monica

    Can this recipe be used with ground meat??

  20. by Claudia

    So, what is the cooking spreay for???

  21. by selnana

    I am guessing that the cooking spray if so the jerky does not stick to the rack. Spray the rack – not the jerky!

  22. by Andy

    Took 3lbs. of this recipe to the lake. Within 5-mins its was GONE!

  23. by Dug

    Is the “red pepper” in this recipe red peppercorns, red bell pepper or red chili pepper?

    Thanks
    Dug
