SPICY JERKY 
I have never tried this in an oven, just a dehydrator. The lemon makes the heat stand out and the sugar and honey make it sweet to the point it has good flavor with a reasonable burst of heat.

This wasn't a homemade recipe. I looked for tasty spicy recipes but I didn't find any I love so I combined them to make one I loved.

2 lb. beef of choice, cut into thin strips

SAUCE:

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup soy sauce
5-7 drops liquid smoke
4 tsp. Louisiana hot sauce
4 tsp. honey (warm up to mix easier)
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. lemon zest
2 tsp. lemon juice

Mix all sauce ingredients in a a sealable container. When everything has been mixed add meat 1 strip at a time and not in rows. Shake to mix and let rest in refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours shaking hourly to ensue even coating of sauce.

Note: There won't be enough liquid to cover the meat, this is fine, that's why we shake.

After set for 8 to 12 hours place in a dehydrator for 4 hours.
