Everybody raves about my jerky and I've used it on deer, elk, and
caribou. There is no Soy or Teriaki used which IMO pollutes the flavor of
the meat. This is a great "meat" recipe. The pepper gives it a bit of bite
depending on how much you use. Try it I guarantee you'll love it and never
make jerky any other way again.
