i know that i'm not the only one on here that LOVES beef jerky. the only thing is i hate the wet nasty store bought kind. i buy mine from an old guy at the track once a month. but it getting a little out of hand. i spent $40 on jerky last friday night!! has anyone ever tried to make it themselves? you can get a dehydrator on ebay for around $50

In my experience, rubs are better than sauce.
You can get some from Wal-Mart of all places...or Bass Pro has the mixes as well.

I've made some in my oven. Hang it with tooth picks off the highest rack and let it bake for awhile.

It was great but I'm sure there are specialty products that help.

Here is the seasoning brand I use: Hi Mountain is the brand.
They have cures for almost every kind of meat and I find the products at Bass Pro.

I cannot say yours will, but our local one does.

Do you have a large sporting goods store in the area? They likely will. Call ahead to make sure.

Most any steak cut will work.
I used venison for my jerky (referenced in my thread above) and it was awesome.

Alton Brown is a GOD and has a very cool recipe for jerky. And he doesn't use any special dehydrators, just a box fan and a couple of filters. It sounds weird reading it, but if you can catch the episode on TV, it makes much more sense whne you see it.
Alton Brown's Beef Jerky

By the way some of the best jerky I've found is Tillamook.
