I made this for the boyfriend, a jerky junky, and he loved it! We couldn't believe how easy and mess-free it was to dehydrate it in the oven ... and mine was done in about 4 or 4-1/2 hours at about 180 degrees F. The only changes we'll make are to reduce the garlic powder (my request) and red pepper (his request), and he's thinking about giving it a little whirl on a "cool" grill, just to briefly smoke it with a few oak chips. Thanks for coming to my recipe request rescue (say that 10 times fast!

I used deer meat, about 2 lbs. It was great! I loved it, all the boys in the family loved it, and I will definitely make them again!. I laid the strips of meat out the oven rack (and on punctured aluminum foil where the slices were too small to not fall through). I baked at 150 for 6 to 7 hours, checking ever hour after 4.

I love how simple this jerky marinade is. Plus, I was specifically looking for something without worcestershire sauce. It comes together easily and makes a great tasting jerky. I used minced garlic in place of powder and loved the kick that comes from the red pepper flakes. Thanks for posting. This is a great recipe!

Excellent recipe! My husband has recently acquired a costly addiction for convenience store jerky, so I decided it was time to try my hand at making it at home. I doubled the recipe and used freshly minced garlic instead of the garlic powder. My husband declared that this was much better than his favorite sweet and spicy brand (but it cost much, much less)! Thank you so much!
