I use Dale's steak seasoning as a base, to which I add pepper (amt varies by personal preference), season salt, and a cap ful of liquid smoke. Alternate version is using half Dale's and half Baby Rays Barbecue sauce as a base, with the same salt, hot pepper, and liquid smoke added..

I use the oven dryer racks form cabelas.  They work amazing.  Depending on how thick the slices are will depend on how long you cook it.  I set my oven at 170 degrees (lowest my oven goes) and bake for 6-8 hours.  It is done when you take a piece out and let it cool for a few minutes and when you bend it it fractures without breaking in half.  It is fractures it is a little too done (still great to eat).  If it flexes to a 90 degree angle without a fracture it is not done. 

Teryiaki is my least favorite as well....unless you use lots of pepper.

Do you leave the oven door cracked open while cooking?

No, I keep the door shut and it turns out great every time.  I do open the door to check periodically starting at the 4 hour mark.

I will be making 10 lbs this next week.  I will post pics of the process to include the final product.  I would also highly recommend a manual jerky slicer...it makes life so much easier.  I will do my jerky post under its own thread, but will tag this thread to the link.

If you are using beef, I would highly recommend the beef carne asada cut from Costco.  It is perfectly sliced for slab jerky and works great.  Just don't for get to trim the big fat pieces out.

Hey useing pre sliced meat is cheating. Then again working smarter not harder is a great concept

If that does not work, then you can find in the recipe section under jrebels oven jerky.  I will be working on this tonight and finishing on tuesday when I cook the jerky.
