Beef Or Venison Jerky Recipe 395

Steps:

• Marinate meat overnight. Cook in food dehydrator or oven on lowest setting. Test jerky for dryness by cooling a piece. When cool it should crack when bent but not break and there should be no moist spots. Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, refrigerate up to three weeks or freeze. Note: The cooking time will vary depending on a few factors including humidity, the thickness of meat slices and temperature setting.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients. Pour over meat and mix well. Put it in the fridge overnight. I use a dehydrator and a jerky gun to dry the stuff as I've found this is the best way to make jerky. Usually takes about 7 hours to dry.

Steps:

• Whisk together the sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, lemon juice, liquid smoke, paprika, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Mix the venison a few times as it marinates to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
• Remove the venison strips from the marinade and squeeze off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Arrange the venison on the racks of a food dehydrator so that it does not overlap.
• Dry the venison on High until dry but still pliable, about 4 hours. The jerky should bend without breaking. Store the jerky in an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag.

Steps:

• Trim all fat from meat.
• Slice meat with the grain to about 1/4" to 1/2" thick.
• Place meat in the cool marinade and leave overnight, or for no less than 8 hours.
• Remove from brine and allow to air dry without rinsing.
• Smoke in your smoker for 12 to 16 hours or until jerky has dried out to your liking.
• Use your favorite fuel for smoking.
• This can be put into a dehydrator for about 6 hours.
