I did add minced garlic to the marinade, as someone else suggested. After the 3-day marinade, I was not sure which way to slice the meat: along the length of the steak or width? So, I tried both! The jerky is good... sadly, not as num-num as the really expensive, pre-packaged kind ~ sigh. And if the long slices seem too long and weird as compared to the width slices? They all shrink up pretty significantly, so the long slices end up looking "normal" and the short slices end up looking too small :

A very good, easy recipe. I'll be making it again. I did add a little bit of minced garlic into mine.

If you are like arizona and are having trouble locating the ingredients, I ALWAYS get my chipotle chiles in adobo sauce in the Mexican food aisle of my grocery store.

I'm not a very big fan of chipotles in adobo; I find them overpowering in most recipes. So I did the the same thing as azriona & substituted a big tablespoon or so of red pepper flakes & added minced garlic. I also increased the cola to 12oz & the honey to probably between 1/3 & 1/2 cup because I found the brine toooooo salty for my family's taste in jerky. I was worried about what the texture would be like using the over, but we cooked ours right at 2.5 hours & it came out fabulous. Really easy & delicious - just a touch of sweetness with a nice kick at the end. I'll probably double the recipe next time because it makes more like 1/2 to 2/3 of a pound once the meat is dehydrated.

We saw this in the magazine and it sounded easy enough to try. Well it came out good, but I'm sure there are better marinades out there. I'll still probably make it again.

I'm not sure why these were rated "immediate", unless I'm seriously underestimating my own mad kitchen skillz. They were seriously easy - I mean, honestly? Take meat. Cut into strips. Marinate for just about forever. Hang in oven. Bake at low temp for 2 hours. THAT'S IT.

I didn't have quite all the ingredients - I couldn't find the peppers in adobe sauce, so I substituted some red pepper flakes. I also added minced garlic, because I love garlic. It was serious fun hanging the strips in the oven, and it made the house smell fantastic. We tried the strips at 2 hours and they were delicious, but I felt not quite dehydrated enough, so I let them go another 45 minutes. SOOOOOO good. And just as yummy at room temp and straight from the fridge as they were warm from the oven!

Fantastic recipe. I am totally making these again!
