This is my method for making beef jerky.

It’s basically my father’s recipe and method, except he made it in the house, in the oven. He didn’t ever get into smoking meat. The choice he made was to get into World War II instead.

Made some beef jerky today.

Used my dad’s recipe for the the marinade. It’s the flavor I grew up with.

1 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder

Took about five hours in the pellet smoker.

This is the smoke rub I make at home. I’ve been using the same basic recipe for over 20 years.
