I have a jerky kit from himtnjerky.com

It has both a packet of cure and a seasoning mix. Cost 7 buck US give or take.
I use the cure just to be safe. I have made it many times without but since I have it, why not use it.
Very little needed. The pack is for 15 lbs of meat.
I like to use a london broil.
Maybe a tsp of cure, soy, worch, dash terriyaki, LIQUID Smoke and pepper of the mood.
The only way I would not make is if I were out of smoke. That is my must have. It comes in numerous flavors.
Some sticky honey sounds pretty good, never tried it but will.

If you have a dehydrator, think of other things to dry. Pineapple is a favorite here.
