Damn good beef jerky

Can you make damn good beef jerky at home? Most certainly you can and with the tools and ingredients you have in your own home or kitchen. So what does it take to make damn good beef jerky? I could say a steady hand and years of practice but that would be BS. No, all it takes is choosing good meat, good ingredients for the marinade, follow the process carefully and with good attention to cleanliness. You will need to have a controlled slow drying environment but most ovens can handle that. Oh yes, you will also need a good beef jerky recipie.
