1st step is to grab whatever meat ya want to use to make jerky I use chuck roast or a london broil type meat for beef stuff, venison roast, turkey, or chicken breasts Ok if you want a softer type of jerky then slice "WITH" the grain. and if ya want a more coarse jerky which is what most use got against the grain. What I do is lay whole roast on its side trim the fat or any "silver skin" from it then i slice it in about 1/8 inch slices then i take that 1/8 piece of meat and slice into strips about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide. now to the marinade for jerky

What ya need is 1 1/2 - 2 lbs of meat
1/4 cup worcestshire sauce
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/8th cup of teriyaki sauce { keeps it mellow and not too salty)
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
pinch of salt (sea salt is best) but iodized works too
1 1/2 tbsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp garlic powder {I put a little garlic oil in mine too just a few drops} but ya can go without also
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 1/2 Tbsp of brown sugar
Then what ya do is add all the ingredients except the meat to a ziploc sealer bag knead that for a few minutes til everything is mixed well completely ( a min or 2)
then open up the bag add in your meat shake the bag so all your meat is drenched in the marinade then squeeze as much of the air from the bag as you can reseal it and then stick it in refrigerator for 24-36 hrs . I usually let mine go for 48 hrs

then when the meat is marinated enough do the following

Ok turn your oven on to 170 i get one of those oven bottom liners from the store so I don't fucking make oven look like a cat blew up in it because of the juices . Ok I have one oven rack i keep just for jerky making . Take your rack and drape the strips over the rack just dont overlap them then slide rack back in oven close the door set the timer for 3.5 hrs and when that timer goes off flip the jerky over so ya get even dehydrating. Set for another 3.5 hrs and let it go . Now when timer goes off at end of last 3.5 hr cycle turn off oven but leave jerky in there for about another hr.

There ya have a pretty simple way to make jerky anywhere.

Ya can add chipotle sauce, habanero sauce if ya like it hotter.
the possabilties of what flavors of jerky ya want are entirely up to u
