If you had one word to describe Texas it might just be barbecue or BBQ. And Texans would probably agree that Texas BBQ is a big, juicy brisket cooked sloooowly in a smoker over wood coals. Just add some beef back ribs, sausage, beans and potato salad and you have got real Texas BBQ.

However, although most Texans can agree on what Texas BBQ is, we don't necessarily agree on how to prepare it, much less spell it. From dry rubs to wet mops, from woods to sauces, many Texans have their own secret recipes that make their BBQ the best.
 

Beef jerky marinades are a perfect way to get jerky that is bursting with flavor.

Beef jerky marinades are different from beef jerky seasonings and rubs as they are liquid.

Also, they take a little more care to prepare. Not only do the ingredients have to be combined properly, but the jerky has to sit in the marinade for up to a day to really absorb the flavor.

 Marinated jerky may take a little longer to dry as well since it is wetter, and the idea behind making jerky is to  remove  all the moisture.
