This jerky marinade recipe is from my dad. He has been making beef jerky for as long as I can remember. He started on an outdoor smoker before graduating to an indoor dehydrator. He has gotten my husband addicted to it. You can use any meat that you like. I usually look for large inexpensive roasts with as little fat and marbling as possible.
