You'll be extremely lucky if you get anything palatable following the
instructions for drying given in the recipe that followed in that article.

DON'T use an oven to dry your jerky. Do it as the Indians did, by hanging it
on little drying racks outside in the sun. When I was doing jerkey, I made a
little cage with wire screening to keep the flies out, and just let it
hang outside for a week or so.

The reason for this is that you are not trying to cook it at all. You're
just trying to dry it!

My own recipe was very similar to the one posted, except I don't remember
any soy or teryaki sauce. Also, I like it a little hotter than the posted
recipe, so my marinade used a quarter jigger of Tobasco instead of the
pepper in the recipe.
