Pineapple Teriyaki Beef Jerky Recipe

We spend a lot of time outside.  Working around the property, hiking, fishing & camping are just a few activities that have us outside, and usually away from the kitchen for hours at a time.  We also like to snack.  Fishing and hiking, its always a good thing to pack light.  The less gear and what nots that you are carrying with you mean less energy used in your activities.  One thing that has always been a go to for us is beef jerky.  Often, in the past, we’ve had to buy it.  It’s not cheap, and loaded with all kinds of things that have very strange, unpronounceable names as listed in the ingredients on the packaging.  We decided it was time to start making our own Jerky. This pineapple teriyaki beef jerky recipe is one of our favourites!
