Is Marmite enough like vegemite, so it's needed for the salt content?
(Don't know much about it, as I can't eat much salt)

it is salty yeah, and very much in the same way as vegamite is.
and indeed Bovril (only Bovril is Concentrated beef extract).
Vegamite may be a little harder to dissolve as it`s more Granular in texture, whereas Bovril or Marmite are closer to a Honey consistancy.
it probably wouldn`t hurt to heat the marinade a little during this and then allow to cool when all mixed, although I would add the Liquid Smoke after and not before heating.
I wonder if it would work with Beef Stock Cubes????
sounds like an experiment for another day :)

ok, Latest Batch is the Best Yet!
I bought a whole peice of Silverside beef £6.00 worth, and prepared it all as it should be.
the difference is I dropped the Sugar entirely.
a Cup of Soy sauce
a tablesppon of chili sauce
1 T spoon salt
3 T spoons of Liquid Smoke concentrate
2 T spoons of Marmite
a pinch of ground black pepper
24 hours in the fridge and then follow standard proceedure.
This is by Far the best ever batch yet, I can`t see anyway to improve this for Our tastes anyway, there`s 3 other that concur.
worry not however, I will continue this thread with Further experiments, I haven`t Quite now I have One perfected, Another kind soul from DC is sending me some Mesquite liquid smoke, and so that will be a whole other Chapter :)
Stay Tuned !

 You can get nice thin slices if you partially freeze meat to firm it up.In fact your butcher might do this for you as Im sure he has a meat slicer

yeah, he did that for me the 1`st time, but had`nt got a clue what I was doing, and jerky didn`t mean anything to him and when I mentioned liquid smoke he looked at me like I was a Madman (he was only 51% right).
so this time I bought the whole chunk of meat and did it myself. bag it, freezer for half hour then out and cut.
I have a Huge chinese meat cleaver so razor sharp you could shave with it!, I used that to slice it, it doesn`t even need any Down pressure, just a slide forwards and it`s cut a 3 inch by 5 inch slice for you :)
it`s equaly adept at removing Thumb tips and nail when your tired (as I found out last year) *sigh*
it didn`t hurt at all though, I think that`s the Scary part!

 We cut ours so its more the size of bacon strips.You may want to take butcher a few pieces when done he may well enjoy it and seeing the finished product might make more sense to him.If you have a food dehydrator it works great for jerky as well.

I have been reading these post on "Jerky" for the past 30+ minutes.
No where do I see the opyion of drying the jerky in the sun.
Here is So. Cal. the sun get's in the 110 - 120 degree range from about 10:00a to about 2:00p Maybe longer depending on the cloud cover. (some times it don't "burn" off until noon)
I will put my cinnamon rolls in the sun to proof.
Why couldn't you use the air filters, A La Alan Brown, and dry the jerky in ths sun?
TIA

if you look at the Date stamps on the posts you`ll see why I never mentioned it.
Here in the UK the outside temp has only just gotten into double figures over the last week.
That`s why Sun Drying wasn`t mentioned.
