Spot on. The bagged kind taste like chemicals and are slimy.
My recipe is very simple. Place meat in a 1 gallon zip lock bag, Mix 1 cup soy, 2 tbs liquid smoke. I prefer hickory. Pour marinade in bag and tumble to coat all the meat. Let sit in fridge a day or so turning every so often to allow all the meat to absorb marinade.
Pre heat oven to lowest temp. My oven is 170 degrees. dry to your liking. About ten hours in my stove. Dry but not wood hard.
Place jerky in clean zip lock sprinkle with extra fine sea salt and shake to lightly coat jerky.
On occasion we will add other spices to the marinade such as red pepper or black pepper, fresh minced onion or garlic. Sometime Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce. But most often just plain
