LQ-check out the Hi Mountain jerky kits-they are very simple, and come with the seasoning and cure, and don't cost much. They come in many "flavors", and include detailed instructions on whatever kind of meat you choose to use. I usually add some kind of marinade (soy sauce, etc.) when they call for water, but other than that it's pretty much by the book. My favorite the the garlic and cracked pepper-my wife likes the cajun blend.
