We raise beef cattle so I'm always looking for the "better" jerky recipe. Have tried many and this is probably the best. Marinated short cut rump and london broil steaks (about 5 lbs. total) in a double batch of the exact recipe and had enough left over for another 5 pounds of meat. Think I'm done looking for jerky recipes! Thanks!

So easy to make and great flavor. I had to throw some in the freezer just so it wasn't all consumed in one day.

Thanks for the recipe - we all loved it. Good flavorful meat - not just seasonings!!! I used a 4.5 lb bottom round roast, which trimmed down to about 4 lbs. Once it was semi-frozen, I sliced it with an electric knife WITH the grain, not across (if you want it chewy not dissolve-in-your-mouth). I doubled the sauce recipe, but even that was WAY too much - next time I'll use the extra half as steak marinade. I ground the peppercorns and crushed red pepper in my coffee mill. I put tin foil in the bottom of the oven and sprayed Pam on cake cooling racks so the marinade would be easy to clean up. It made 3 racks full. I cooked in my oven at 150 degrees for 4 hours. Worked well, but good luck leaving it alone long enough for it to dry!

My family loved it, but to me it was just okay. I think it was the pineapple juice that gave it a strange flavor. I dried it in the oven, and it turned out great!

This recipe is fantastic! I substituted regular vinegar for the balsamic to make it cheaper, and I added 1/4 cup of Bourbon I had sitting around. Additionally, I added half a teaspoon of salt to the dry spices.

This is the first jerky recipe I've ever tried and I wasn't disappointed with the results. Perfect balance of sweet (but not too sweet) and hot (but not too hot). Leaves behind a little bit of heat on your tounge but not enough to need that huge glass of water standing by. It's the best tasting jerky I've ever had. WAY better than the store bought variety. I followed the recipe exactly as written. 5 tbsp of liquid smoke scared me but you can't even taste the liquid smoke in the finished product. It just adds that great jerky scent that gets your taste buds going. An electric knife is a must have. I bought one for the purpose of making this recipe and I can't imagine having to slice the meat without one. One 5oz. bottle of soy sauce = 2/3c. No need to measure, just dump the bottle into the sauce pan. I used one 20oz can of crushed pineapple and strained it to get the pineapple juice. That yielded approximately 1 cup of juice so now I have enough pineapple juice to make another batch of jerky OR maybe I'll use the leftover juice and pineapple to make Acini di Pepe (another great recipe from this site). Talk to your butcher about the different types of meats that are popular for making jerky. You're not limited to one specific cut (some are leaner than others). Your butcher knows what's best. All in all, GREAT recipe I will be using A LOT. I may never have to put my dehydrator away again!! THANKS!!

This was ok, but didn't have too much flavor for my liking. Lots of ingredients, but nothing really stood out.

Very, very good. I cut the liquid smoke in half but to each their own. The time varies depending on thickness and how many racks you use at a time. I also found my self slicing the meat too thin. I am trying tri-tip on the next batch. Will make again often.

By far the best jerky I have ever had!!! I doubled the recipe and it all disappeared within a couple of days, everyone loved this addicting flavor! The thing I like about it most is that it's like all jerky flavors added into one. I'm always torn between teriyaki jerky, or smoked jerky, or peppered jerky and have a hard time deciding which one to buy, but this is like all 3 added into one! It's the king of jerkies in my book!

Because of this recipe, my friends and family think I'm a jerky expert! I've already made two batches since receiving my dehydrator for Christmas. Some with pepper, some without.

The best beef jerky I have ever had! So easy and tasty! I read some of the other reviews and only added 4 tablespoons of the liquid smoke and it was amazing!

I made this as a Christmas present for the men in my family and they have been begging for more ever since. I plan to make it again this year.
