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.
here is a dales option online: Dales Seasoning
Another good liquid marinade is Allegros.
^^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.
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
