      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      1 ts Salt                                2 ts Cumin 
      1 ts Pepper                              2    Cloves garlic minced 
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper                      2 lb Steak sliced thinly 
      3 tb Chili powder                    
  
  Combine ingredients and thoroughly mix together. This is a dry marinade so 
  there is no liquid. Sprinkle the spice mixture on the meat slices and work 
  into the grain with your fingers. Cover and marinate overnight. Place trays 
  in the oven and dry at 145'F. for first 4 hrs. then set oven 130'F. until 
  dry.(4 to 8 hrs.) Jerky should be hard but not brittle. Blot up any fat 
  that appears with paper towels. *For a chewy texture, slice the meat with 
  the grain, or across the grain for more tender jerky. Thats all! It may 
  take a few trys to figure out exactly how long to dry the meat, but you're 
  still eating while you're trying so it's not that bad. Well, good luck, I 
  hope that you like it. And, sorry this note is so long.
