Jerky?

I always use flank steak-although IMHO it is'nt "cheap"

Throw it in the freezer for an hour or two before you slice it; easier to handle that way. I cut about 1/8" -1/4" thick. Marinade/seasoning is a matter of preference, but my family/friends all seem to enjoy Alton Browns recipe. I add a bit of Teryaki to mine.
