Best Beef Jerky

What cut of beef is used for jerky and does anyone have a good site that has instructions on it? I got a dehydrator to make jerky but have yet to use it.

Alton Brown has a recipe that I want to try, marinade and a box fan is my kind of summer cooking!

Instructions? haha. Cut up you meat into 1/4 inch thick planks if it WILL cut into such pieces, any shape is fine tho, dunk it or soak it, depending on how much salty taste you want, and run your dehy on the highest setting for the first hour to make sure that bacteria does not grow. Once the meat has begun to dry on the outside 1 to 1.5 hrs), you are good to use whatever temp you want. If you do not get Dale's out west, any kind of soy sauce or mix a little soy sauce with your favorite BBQ sauce and dip the raw cuts into that. once you lay it out on the trays, shake or grind some coarse black pepper onto it, never salt, since your sauce is salty, some garlic powder is also good. I have learned over the last few years that I like a mix of salty sauce and BBQ sauce best.
