• When the jerky is ready, allow to cool completely and store in an air tight container.

Steps:

• Take your meat to the local butcher and have it cut thin.
• You can do this yourself by semi-freezing your meat then cut it into 1/4-inch strips.
• Note: meat cut with the grain will be chewy, and against the grain will be tender.
• Combine everything but the meat in a large bowl and stir well.
• Marinate meat over night in the refrigerator, then drain.
• To use a dehydrator place meat on racks, do not overlap, and let dry for 24-36 hours.
• To use an oven, preheat to 150-degrees then place meat on cookie sheets without overlapping for 8-10 hours.
• Turn at least once during drying.

DEER (VENISON) JERKY

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.
