1tsp Cayenne Pepper Powder
1tsp Liquid Hickory Smoke
2T – 1/4c Teriyaki Sauce
Tasty option: Season, well, the tops (When you first put on dehydrator) with Fresh Cracked Black Pepper.

2lbs of meat. I used this time around. Cut into strips about 1/4in thick. Sometimes, I make nuggets. Your choice. They say to cut off the fat. After long periods, it can go rancid. But, we eat this so fast there’s no need to worry about ever getting there. We also store ours in fridge. Try to find less fat, tho… It’s better to eat. 

Add ingredients into a bowl with meat.

Get your hands dirty and mix it well.

Add to ziploc bag and make sure it’s pretty air tight. MARINADE 24hours. Flip and mix around bag around half way through.

Dehydrate 4 hours. Keep in mind, it gets harder as it sits after dehydrating.

Store in airtight container. We store ours in fridge, especially, these. As, they have the fat on. If you get the nice no fat kind, works fantastic in air tight container for a longer time.
