Haven't made jerky in a while; I must dig out my dehydrator!

Just a note though ... soy sauce and worcestershire are NOT carb free. And my experience has been that most of the marinade does absorb into the meat slices. All that gets removed in the drying process is water .. so the carbs stay behind.

According to Fitday, one cup of soy sauce is 20.07g carbs/ 2.04g fiber. 2 Tbsp worcestershire is 2.84g.

Definitely home-made jerky is lower carbs than most store-bought stuff, but still a good idea to count a gram of carb per ounce of finished product.
