sandy's terriyaki beef jerky marinade
If you like your jerky more or less sweet, salty, smoky, spicy etc. then adjust those ingredient amounts in the next batch. I devised this recipe in 1988 by combining ingredients from many different ones. This doubles easily to cover more beef, and marinating in a vacuum sealer speeds up the process.
