Semi-freeze meat for easier slicing. Slice into strips about 1/8" thick. Marinate about 2 days, keeping meat covered with sauce. To marinate meat, place in covered container in refrigerator and turn container several times to distribute sauce throughout the meat. When ready to dry, hang meat strips from upper over rack and place cookie sheet beneath to catch the drippings. Dry on lowest oven temperature (125-150 degrees) for 4-8 hours or until as dry as you like it.

Slightly freeze meat for easier slicing Slice meat into 1/8" thick strips. Mix other ingredients together in an ice cream pail. Add meat and stir. Put a snall plate, that fits inside the pail, over the meat. Place a heavy jar of water on top of the plate. Put pail in refrigerator for 1-1/2 days, stirring 4 or more times. Take meat out of sauce and lay in a cookie sheet that you have lined with aluminum foil. Place in oven at 100-150 degrees for 8 - 10 hours, keeping oven door slightly open. Turn meat after 4 hours.

I usually use London Broil or some kind of rump roast. Venison is supposed to work well. I haven't tried fish yet. Hints: Partially frozen meat is easier to slice. For chewier jerky, cut the meat thicker. Marinate overnight in: 6 Tablespoons Soy Sauce 6 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 slices of ginger, minced fine 4 Tablespoons sherry 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red pepper Lay meat on racks (baking cooling racks work well) and dry thoroughly (this will probably take 12-24 hours.) The meat will be dark brown and feel dry. Regular oven: Set oven at lowest temperature, place meat inside, prop door slightly ajar with a wooden spoon, leave inside until thoroughly dry. Food dehydrator: Set at 150 degrees. Hint: The drier the meat, the longer it will keep. You can store the meat in the frig or freezer. I don't know how long it keeps without refrigeration because it always disappears quickly. I inadvertently keep some in my backpack for 6 months and it still hadn't spoiled.
