Try using flank steak instead of "breakfast steak".
Slice it against the grain and then soak in marinade,
in the refrigerator, overnight.  Dry it very slowly on a rack
in the oven at a low temp.

Other good marinades for Beef Jerky include terriaki sauce,
soy sauce, red table wine or any combination. 

If you are carefull and trim off all the fat, the stuff lasts
over a week without refrigeration, great for camping trips!

A camping favorite tested on many backpacking trips:
Prepare ramen noodles as usual and then add small chunks of 
your homemade jerky.
