Let me know how it works and information on thickness of meat and seasoning. I like jerky that isn’t like chewing a shoe sole. Better soft and easy to chew.

I go lighter on the soy, unless it is a low sodium one. And add some grated ginger or curry for a different flavor. It's easy to make all kinds of jerky since it is sliced pre-smoking.

If its your first time try to find a good commercial mix, I really like the Hi Mountain mixes favorites are the garlic and black paper and sweet and spicy. I've made and eaten a lot of home made marinated jerky and to be honest less then half of it was something I would have let someone else try.

Hi. Maybe this recipe would work. I took 5 pounds of meat. Trimmed off excess fat and cut into thin slices. Yes, I also found a decent meat thermometer in a review on https://www.bigwigjerky.com.au/australian-bbq-thermometer/ and ordered it through Amazon. I keep track of the cooking temperature of the meat. To get perfect results. For the marinade, it went: 1.5 cup soy sauce.3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce.1 tablespoon garlic powder.1 tablespoon onion powder.1 tsp. Ground chipotle.1 tsp. Black pepper.Optional: (I added a few chopped whole garlic cloves). Taste.

I really like this one. Can't get much simpler. And our food lion regularly has bottom round already sliced thin. https://www.jerkyholic.com/spicy-jerky-with-franks-redhot/
