I use this recipe all the time since i seen it on food network. I use my dehydrator, but set it on the coolest setting. I do use some Sodium nitrite also about 1 teaspoon per each batch. this allows the meat to stay pink the meat looks better after it is dried.

Love the idea, I definately don't mind paying a little more for a quality filter. In Seattle they're about 4$. In life cheap things aren't good and good things aren't cheap (usually. My jerkey took a long time to cold dry... Because it was rainy I guess? (big surprise I know. Don't be afraid to play with your recipes, make it mega hot or teriyaki, whatever you like. Thanks for the technique Alton, your among my favorite nerds of all time!

Really great recipe and very easy to do. I used the fan method, set to high instead of medium though, and it turned out wonderful and I would definitely do it again. I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about furnace filters being expensive because they're not. They're not the dollar like Alton said but they are two dollars or less a piece and if you buy them in the packs of three, you can get good deals ( I live in Hawaii so everything here can be expensive because of importing so If I can find them for cheap here then you can find them cheap where you are too. I used Alton's exact recipe this time but it's very adaptable to your taste, so feel free to experiment with the flavors. Also, I recommend getting the leanest piece of flank you can find or trim it very well. Another excellent recipe from Alton, no surprise there.

Loved the flavor, I added extra red pepper flakes for more heat. I also used a dehydrator and let it dehydrate for about 10 hours rotating the trays about every hour. All the jerky was gone pretty much in a couple days. Everyone loved it. Definitely keeping this and making this more often. Way better than the stuff you buy in stores.

This s the standard recipe we use to crank out a lot of beef jerky. To reduce the carbs we substitute Splenda for the honey. We do use a box dehydrator instead of the fan.

Simply Excellent!!

Used 4 lbs turkey cut a half inch thick, doubled up marinade recipe and cut out red pepper and added spicy mesquite seasoning, 3 tblsp brown sugar, and teryakki in place of the soy. marinated 12 hrs, took 5 hrs to dry (used the oven method, put peices on rack and set oven to 170, opened door and pointed box fan at it. turned out great! turkey is way healthier too.

Tough to find cheap filters, even at Home Depot. May make some from plastic grid. This time I put the filters on box fan sitting on plastic milk crates-plenty of air flow. Did it on screened porch so the house wouldnt get smelly.
Followed recipe exactly for the first time, and it is terrific. I'll lose the liquid smoke and cut the crushed reds in 1/2, and substiture ground chipotle peppers for the smoky flavor and the heat. May add a tbls of brown sugar.
