Jerky marinade

The jerky marinade is the core to the making a good jerky. Apart from making sure there is and even drying process the bulk of the flavor in the jerky comes from the jerky marinade itself. Of course the meat itself contributes to the flavor but without the marinade it would be fairly bland and just chewy. Some of the more authentic jerkies are salt or sugar cured and sun or air dried but often, if these are the main curatives, they would be called pickled meats rather than beef jerky meat.

Spicy jerky

Spicy jerky or sweet jerky are not the only choices when it comes to picking the jerky flavour you like. Some people prefer the sweet flavour and others much prefer the spicy jerky taste. These are not the only flavours available and, if you make your own, you can make whatever adjustments and fine tuning to the marianade to create exactly the flavour you like. Flavours are always a personal choice and change over time as well so it is really important to make sure that you choose or make a great jerky marinade for your jerky which suits your taste.
