Oven Beef Jerky Recipes

Guy's

I make jerky the generic oven way. Just slice your steaks lengthwise about 1/4 inch thick. Marinate the strips in liquid smoke and add some salt & pepper. Poke toothpicks thru one end of each strip and hang them in your oven so they dangle down. Put the oven on about 130 degrees and viola in a couple of hours you have jerky.

I make jerky out of ground sirloin and spices. Put it in the mixer, add the spices, load up the Jerky Works gun ($14.99 at Wal-Mart) and bake at 150 for about 6 hours. There is a book that comes with the Jerky Works gun which explains the process. It also has spice packets you can buy that come with it but I put my own spices in. It's easy, I cover the racks in my oven with foil and use it to dry out the jerky. The jerky works gun presses it out into the long, flat shape. It looks like jerky. I do put liquid smoke in mine. I just bought a food saver (too much treadmill time, I watched the entire infomercial ;-)) so now I can package it too, so it doesn't go bad.
