    Excellent indeed! Turned out even better than storebought jerky. I made it as directed except for adding a 1/4 t of red pepper flakes which gave it a nice zing--I would add even more for a spicy hot jerky. I forgot to drain the meat on paper towels, but putting foil on the bottom of the oven prevented it from being too messy. The lowest temp on our oven is 170, so that's what I used. I had to go out so I turned it off after two hours, and it was practically done when I came home, but I turned it back on for another 40 minutes or so, and it was perfect. I kept it in the refrigerator all afternoon, and then we ate it all that night (it was too good to resist!), so as I write this, I'm marinating a double batch.

    This truly is excellent beef jerky. So much better than what I have been buying in the stores. The only changes I made was to increase the garlic and onion powder to my taste and added some red pepper flakes. Other than that, it is one of the best recipes out there. I used Lawry's seasoning salt because I like that the best. Very Good recipe and I highly recommend it.

    This jerky was excellent just like the name. I used a sirloin steak which we had already used the other half of for steak, so we knew it didn't have much flavor. After slicing it thin and placing it in the dehydrator it turned into a wonderful snack food! I tagged this in the Diabetes Awareness Cooking Tag Game.
