  Trim all visible fat from the meat and freeze until firm and solid
enough
 to slice into thin strips. Cut across the grain and make sure that the
 slices are as thin as you can make them, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut
slices
 into 1-inch- wide strips. Arrange strips in a shallow baking pan.

  Combine remaining ingredients and pour liquid over strips.
Refrigerate
 overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  Preheat oven to 140 degrees. Remove meat from the marinade and place
the
 strips on a cake rack over a cookie sheet in the oven. Dry until
strips
 will splinter on the edges--from 18-24 hours. Cool completely before
 wrapping lightly with plastic wrap.
  Jerky will keep in a closely covered container for 2 4 weeks.

  OR...use your dehydrator according to manufacturer's recommendations.
