This is a 3/4 reduced but a fully salt free would be really difficult since all the marinades I know of use salt it is going to be the bigger challenge, this recipes uses low salt content and no sugar. Hope it works for you!

Beef Jerky

3 pounds round steak or other lean beef
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup tamari (or light soy sauce)
1 heaping Tablespoon Beef It Up Herb Blend or Mrs Dash (Cajun would be nice)

3/4 teaspoon salt

Cut any visible fat or gristle from the beef. Slice across the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips about 6 inches long. Set aside.

Mix remaining ingredients together in a deep glass bowl or sturdy zip-lock plastic bag. Add meat strips; toss well to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or seal tight and refrigerate 24 hours. Toss the mixture every now and then while marinating.

Using an oven thermometer, heat the oven to 140 degrees (F).

Transfer the meat strips to a rack and pan that will allow air to circulate but will also catch drips from the marinade. The strips may touch each other but should not overlap.

Place the rack/pan in the center of the 140 degree oven and allow to dry for about 10 hours. Start watching after 8 or 9 hours since drying times will vary. When finished, the strips will be pliable but dry in appearance.

I found this.

1 beef brisket (or just the flat cut)
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups worcestershire sauce
3-4 teaspoons liquid smoke (depending on strength of liquid smoke)
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1-2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
In a very large bowl mix up all ingredients except the meat and set aside. If useing a whole brisket seperate the flat half and the point half, put the point half away for another use (like smoking it). Trim all the fat from the flat half (You butcher may do this for you, along with slicing it).
You can partially freeze this for easier slicing, slice into 1/8 or slightly thicker. If you need to, cut in lengths to fit your dehydrator. Or use a gas oven set on 145°F.
Add slices to bowl with the marinade, with clean hands make sure all the meat is coated without any "dry spots". Press down the meat to remove air and bring marinade to the top.
Allow to marinade for about 4 hours, stirring the meat a few times during this period to keep the meat coated. I use my hands, washed of course, then press the meat down again.
If you need more marinade just scale down the recipe and make a little more.
Place slices in the dehydrator and dehydrate according to manufacturers directions.
If using a gas oven (I didn't like the results from an electric oven), place several sheets of foil across the bottom of oven, do not cover the heat vents, heat to 145 F, place slices directly on oven rack and close door.
Allow to dry for 6 to 8 hours. The jerky needs to be dry but still plyable, NOT crunchy. It will bend but not break.
Store in an airtight container after it has cooled completely.

Make sure when you buy the ingredients you but salt free soy sauce etc.

I a diabetic so I make my own Jerky to avoid the high sugar content. What I have found that works best is to use Brown Sugar Substitute, but it is expensive. Almost as good is to leave the sugar out and lightly sprinkle the Jerky with sugar substitutes after they come out of the smoker. Avoid the use of Store Bought Teriyaki Sauce. It is a mixture of 25% Sherry, 25% Saki and 25% Soy Sauce and 25% Sugar usually in the form of Molasses. Make your own and leave out the Sugar. Don't expect it to be as sweet as Store bought. Salt is not necessary as the Soy Sauce contains as much salt as possible to be dissolved in a liquid. This is why Soy Sauce will last for years without spoiling. Purchase your Soy Sauce in gallon jugs at the Wholesale Food Outlets, where restaurants purchase their foods, a gallon of Soy Sauce at the Wholesale Outlet will cost the same as a 2 ounce bottle on store shelves, and you will be using a cup or more each batch of Jerky. The basic recipe is to make Teriyaki sauce, without sugar, Liquid Smoke to taste, and Brown Sugar Substitute for marinade, and then experiment to meet your own taste, by adding different amounts of one or all other ingredients such as garlic powder, dry mustard, crushed red pepper, etc. add small amounts of the additional flavorings until you obtain a flavor you like, as they can overpower the flavor of the Jerky if too much is added. Also a small drop of Liquid smoke added at the end of the smoking process creates an Extra Smoky flavor. Your taste will be very different from mine, that is why I suggest you experiment with the amounts of flavorings. At a yard sale, for $5, I picked up an old single burner Weber gas BBQ for a smoker. I Removed the burner, and then I set a pan with a few Briquettes in the bottom to provide heat, and cut apple branches to lay over the Briquettes to provide Smoke. It works perfectly for smoking meat and making Jerky. The thermometer on the BBQ helps me determine how many Briquettes to use to get the right temperature to make jerky instead of quick cooking it and having cooked beef / deer strips. I forgot to mention the Worcestershire sauce in the marinade and optional is Ginger in the marinade. Also you can use citrus in the marinade if you like a lime or orange flavor on your Jerky. I don't.
