First ever attempt at jerky - Eye of Round

And the winner is.....

Black pepper #1

The sriracha didn't add nearly as much kick as I had hoped it would.  Will adjust next time, maybe add in some jolokia powder to make things pop. 

The 4 recipes I mentioned in the first post are represented here from left to right.  Obviously the darker colors in the right two are coming from the brown sugar.  I realized last night that I did not add in the sesame seed oil that Cougar78 called for in the original recipes I was following.  I'll have to make the teriyaki version again with that added in.  It's a shame, I really like the flavor of sesame oil, very strong stuff but great flavor in moderation.
