VENISON JERKY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground venison, salt, MSG, hot sauce, curing mixture, barbeque seasoning, water, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Line food dehydrator trays with plastic wrap. Pat meat mixture into a very thin layer on the trays. Place in dehydrator set according to manufacturers directions. Once the meat has firmed up, after about the first 2 hours, remove it from the plastic, cut into strips, and replace onto the racks. Continue until the meat is done drying, about 5 to 10 hours total depending on machine.
• When finished, blot off any grease with a paper towel. Store in the refrigerator in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

HOW TO MAKE DEER JERKY - VENISON JERKY RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice meat into thin pieces (this is easiest to do if meat is still frozen). For a softer jerky, it's best to soak the meat slices in a brine solution for 24 hours to tenderize the meat and remove the blood.
• In a large releasable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
• Place meat in, and close bag.
• Refrigerate overnight. Knead occasionally, to evenly distribute marinade.
• Preheat oven or dehydrator anywhere between 145 to 165 degrees F. If using regular oven, place a pan on the bottom of oven to catch drips, or line with aluminum foil.
• Place meat on racks so that they do not touch each other, and dehydrate for 5 to 7 hours or until meat breaks when trying to bend.

JERKY

Steps:

• Place the meat in the freezer for 1 hour, so that it will be easier to cut.
• Slice the meat with the grain as thin as humanly possible.
• Mix brine ingredients right in a resealable plastic bag (placing the bag inside a large plastic container will make this easier.)
• Place meat strips in brine. Move the meat around so the marinade is evenly distributed around it. Seal bag, working out as much air as humanly possible.
• Lay bag flat in the plastic container and refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours.
• Remove meat from the brine and drain on cooling racks. Discard the brine.
• When the meat is dry place it inside Blo-hard 3000 and set fan to medium. Leave overnight or for at least 12 hours.
• If you don't find yourself in possession of a Blo-hard 3000, place strips directly on oven racks.
• Heat oven to lowest setting and use a blob of foil as a wedge to hold door ajar.
• Oven-dry overnight or until meat reaches a consistency of your liking.
• Store in zip-top bag or jar in a cool dark place for 30 or 40 years or until fuzzy stuff starts to grow on it.

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
• Cut venison slices into strips or squares.
• Add the venison strips to the marinade, ensure that all surfaces of the meat are covered by the marinade.
• Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 3 hours.
• Remove venison from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place meat strips in air fryer basket in a single layer - ensure it is not overlapping.
• Air fry deer jerky until completely dehydrated. Set to air fry at 210°F / 100°C for two hours, then check the jerky. If it is not completely dried out continue to air fry for 15-20 minute intervals until it is ready. It needs to reach 160°F/ 71°C to be safe [Note 1].
• When the jerky is ready, allow to cool completely and store in an air tight container.

Steps:

• In a gallon sized ziplock bag, combine all ingredients. Allow mixture to marinate for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator (for best results allow 48 hours).
• Preheat oven to 150. Drain venison and pat dry with paper towel. Lay pieces across oven rack, small grill plates, or cookie rack (the idea is to not use a baking sheet, as the meat will take much longer to dry that way). Cook meat for 1-4 hours, checking every half hour or so to see if meat is dried. Feel free to use a dehydrator following manufacturer instructions.
