For fans of Italian spices and herbs, this one is lower in calories than many other recipes and offers a very distinct flavor you will often adopt for your steak dinners too.
Ingredients:
1 Cup of well trimmed Beef
25mL Olive Oil (Other oils can be substituted, but Olive works best)
25mL Red Wine
1 Clove, minced garlic
5mL of Oregano
5mL of Sage
5mL of Thyme
2mL of ground black pepper
2mL of Rosemary
2mL of Marjoram
1mL of Salt
To cut calories, and bring out the other flavours I would recommend trimming most of the fat for this recipe. This is my preference, so always feel free to change it to your liking.
In a bowl, combine your beef, red wine, minced garlic, and olive oil. Using a wooden spoon, mix the bowl well so all of the liquids are soaked up by the meat. If you are using a different meat than beef, or if your beef is already super juicy, it may require added marinade time. You will want the liquids to be fully absorbed into the meat before moving on.
Once your meat has absorbed the liquids, combine the dry ingredients in a separate container, and add them as a 'rub' to the meat. You may need to crush some of your dry ingredients depending on the way you got them. When completed, the beef should be super juicy, but not leaking, with a rough outer coating of the seasonings.
Place the beef flat within your dehydrator, being sure to flip the beef several times during the cooking process. This will allow the juice to stay in the meat, rather than having a tough top and soft bottom.
Cook time varies based on your dehydrator, but is usually about 5-6 hours in mine. This will produce a softer jerky, so add more time if you like your crispy and dry.
Enjoy!

Hothouse Jerky
Another spin on the spicy variety, but more of the 'pub' flavour buffalo wing lovers will enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 Cup of trimmed Beef
75mL of your favorite Hot Sauce
5mL Crushed Red Pepper
A pinch of Salt
To begin, combine your beef with the hot sauce and salt, and mix with a wooden spoon. Allow this combination to marinade overnight. The longer you allow the marinade to linger, the more 'red' your results will turn out.
Once you have finished marinading your mix, add the crushed red pepper and stir it all up. This if your finished combination which will be placed into the dehydrator.
Be sure to throw away any excess juices from the combination, as hot sauces are very watery and will add a lot of additional cook time to the meat. By allowing the marinade to sit overnight you will ensure that great hot sauce flavour is locked in.
Cook time will vary based on your dehydrator, but generally was 6-7 hours in mine.
Enjoy!

Sweet and Juicy Jerky
Sweet and Juicy Jerky:
This is Sam's favorite recipe, and is just as easy to make. You will need:
Ingredients:
1 cup trimmed and sliced fresh beef (either from a roast, or steak)
25mL - Honey Garlic BBQ Sauce (Any common variety)
25mL - Brown Sugar
25mL - Margarine or Butter
A pinch of pepper
A pinch of salt
Be sure to trim the meat so that there is extra fat left on the meat, and the strips are on the thicker side. By leaving the strips thicker you can have them come out extra soft.
In a separate container melt the butter or margarine in the microwave or stove top. You will want it to be completely melted.
Once the meat is properly trimmed place it in a bowl and add the butter/margarine.
Be sure to work in the butter well before adding the other ingredients. This is important to have the butter soak in with the meat, rather than leaving it greasy when you're done.
After mixed, add the remaining ingredients to the mix. Be sure to work them in evenly with your hands so they are coating the meat and worked in across the jerky.
Once the ingredients have been all combined, lay the strips of jerky flat in the dehydrator.
Cooking time will vary based on your dehydrator, but on mine generally takes about 5 hours. Start to check it after 3-4 and remove pieces when they are cooked throughout, and to your liking.
Enjoy~!
