For a spicier kick, add a tablespoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the marinade. Experiment with different wood-flavored liquid smokes (mesquite, applewood) to customize the flavor profile. Store the finished jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
