Jerky Recipies

I use:

Garlic, brown sugar, salt, vinegar and soy sauce. Makes excellent jerky.

Just salt and pepper is good too.
 
Seriously, I go through the spice rack (which for us is actually a cupboard!) and add what I want! The missus does the same with her stuff and we load it into ziploks for a night in the fridge. Next day, we grab some of the trays each and load our jerky onto them. Once completed, we tend to scoff the lot in a day or two!
 
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but does anyone ‘cook’ with it once made, or is it just eaten as is. Does anyone, I don’t know, rehydrate it in a kind of paella or curry it or...
 
Last time I added salt, garlic, chilli powder, soy sauce, a pinch of brown sugar, and I think that was it. Maybe paprika, too. I doesn't need a lot. Adding oil or fat will make it spoil, but pretty much everything else you may add is insubstantial spices, or mostly water and salt!
 
Soy and chilli. Or Soy and garlic. Overestimate the amount of chilli as when I've used it for jerky the marinade is so hot you'd think it'll be foul but the jerky ended up just right. I've experimented with dry marinades too - you can get little packets of the stuff - was ok but not as good as the wet marinade.
