Can you believe fall is right around the corner? This means many people will be butchering meat for the winter, and deer season is right around the corner as well.
So you know what that means, right? Jerky time!
My family looks forward to this time of year every year because we are jerky people. I’m assuming there are other jerky people out in the world too.
Which is why I’m going to bring you some of the best beef jerky recipes the internet has to offer. Keep in mind, you can usually swap out venison in the place of beef in most jerky recipes.
So go ahead, sit back, relax, and begin to plan what flavor jerky you will make this fall.
Beef Jerky Recipes:
1. Bloody Mary Jerky
If you have ever had a Bloody Mary to drink, then you know that it is an alcoholic beverage (usually) that is tomato based.
So this recipe has a tomato base that comes together with your beef flavor to make one delicious high protein snack.
2. Sweet and Hot Jerky
This recipe is very similar to the one we use each year. It calls for brown sugar, liquid smoke, and many other delicious spices.
But I find it so delicious because of the smoky flavor it brings out in the meat, and it has a way of bringing sweet flavors and spicy flavors to the table. It is so delicious!
3. Dr. Pepper Beef Jerky
Do you love Dr. Pepper? If so, then you’ll probably love this meat. I love the recipe because not only does it bring the Dr. Pepper flavor to the forefront, but it is also so simple. It has only a few basic ingredients, and you can have some really delicious beef jerky.
It has only a few basic ingredients, and you can have some really delicious beef jerky.
4. Coffee Jerky Marinade
Do you love the flavor of coffee? Oh, me too! I am a coffee drinker, to put it mildly!
So when I see a recipe that can make my jerky have that hint of coffee also mixed with liquid smoke and other tasty spices like paprika and cumin, then I know it is right up my alley.
5. Sweet Cherry Beef Jerky
This may sound odd for a beef jerky choice, but I think it is actually a really delicious mixture. Who says that all jerky has to be spicy?
Well, according to this recipe, it doesn’t. This recipe calls for sweet cherries, almond extract, and sugar. It could end up being a high protein sweet fix when needed.
6. Citrus Basil Beef Jerky
Would you like to mix your fruits and your herb garden together? Maybe even bring a few essential oils into your beef jerky mix?
Well, if so, then you’ll love this recipe. It calls for herbs, citrus flavors, and essential oils. It could be your new favorite healthy and delicious snack.
7. Texas BBQ Beef Jerky
Do you love Texas style barbecue? Would you also love to have a super simple jerky recipe?
Well, again, if you answered yes to either or both of those questions, then this recipe could be just what you wanted. The ingredients are flavorful yet still simple.
8. Smokey Honey Glazed Beef
Our family raises bees. Needless to say, there are certain times of the year that we are flat out overrun with honey.
So when I saw that this recipe could help us utilize some of that, I was sold. This recipe is able to combine the sweet with the smoky. It is a flavorful combination.
9. The Mrs’s Beef Jerky
Did you think jerky was only a guy thing? Umm…you’d be wrong. Women love themselves some beef jerky! I know because I am one of them.
And apparently, this woman loves beef jerky just as much because she has come up with a flavorful concoction that will rock your beef jerky socks!
10. Jalapeno Lime Beef Jerky
So often in life, you find spicy foods mixed with citrus flavors. If you’ve ever wondered why it is because they are a perfect match.
Well, why change what has worked for years and years? Instead, let’s keep the flavor combo going with this recipe.
11. Sweet Heat Siracha Jerky
If you like spicy food, then you will probably love this jerky. It looks spicy even from the pictures.
However, I love spicy food so it makes my mouth water just looking at it. If you are part of the ‘spicy food club’ then you’ll want to try this.

So the next time you see some crushed pineapple or pineapple juice hanging around your pantry, reach for the meat and make some tasty jerky.
13. Jalapeno Jerky
I have to tell you upfront that I love jalapenos. I think they are one of the best vegetables on the planet because they can be used in such versatile ways and pack a punch of heat too.
So why would I not be interested in a recipe that calls for jalapenos with my jerky? Well, I would be interested of course. You should check it out too.
14. Habanero Beef Jerky

17. Freakin’ Amazing Beef Jerky

My husband and boys are big barbecue fans. Their tastes in barbecue vary greatly though. My husband is a Carolina boy who loves vinegar based sauces.
But our boys were born in a different part of the country and love the ketchup based sauces that are sweeter. This recipe contains that kind of sauce.
20. Teriyaki Beef Jerky
This recipe calls for lots of common ingredients and one less common: Mirin. Yet, if you love teriyaki flavored beef jerky, then the hunt for a less common ingredient may be totally worth it to you.
