Try adding slicced up jalepeno pepper and cheddar cheese to your ground venison when making deer jerky. Mix em together in a bowl, then put it into the jerky gun, and then into the dehydrater. It tastes awesome.Give it a try.
Another thing i do is marinade my steaks in italian dressing for a day or so to give it some extra flavor.
That sounds awesome, I'll definitely try that. Also if you want to easily spice up some jerky just sprinkle on powdered red pepper while it is dehydrating. I do this all the time and it will kick it up for you. You can pretty much use any kind of powdered pepper but the red won't overpower the seasoning. Make sure you use powdered not crushed for best results. I love spicy but the kids, not so much. This makes it easy to do just a portion of what I'm dehydrating spicy and the rest normal.
