I just found a few recipes for home made jerky:

Recipe 1
Ingredients

4 lbs london broil beef or flank steak
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, more if you like it hot
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 cup soy sauce or low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup Frank's red hot sauce

Directions

Trim all fat off meat.

Cut steak in to 4 inch strips.

The steak should be about 1/2 inch thick.

It's easier to cut meat partially frozen.

Pound meat lightly, you don't want it too thin.

Add all ingredients in a large bowl.

Mix well.

Cover and refrigerate overnight (8 hrs).

Line cookie sheets with tin foil.

Place steak strips on sheets, don't overlap meat.

Set oven at lowest temperature. (150-175°F).

Bake six hours, turning after three hours.

Jerky is done when meat is dried out, depending on your oven.

Worth the wait!
