Ralph’s Original Jerky Seasoning

As I've been so intently researching and testing different jerky recipes, I've developed my own unique recipe that I'm sure will continue to evolve over time. In its current iteration, this blend mixes smokey, tangy, and classic flavors in one bite. Consider it my Amuse Bouche of jerky!

Trim meat of all visible fat/silverskin and slice into uniform 1/4" strips

Whisk together all Dry and Wet seasonings in a large bowl. Coat each meat strip in sauce and place into a large, one-gallon ziplock bag.
