Goose Jerky Recipe Dehydrator Food

GOOSE OR DUCK JERKY

Steps:

• Slice the duck breasts into roughly 1/4 inch thick strips. Mix remaining ingredients well in a large bowl. Put the meat into the marinade and massage it all around to coat evenly. Pour everything into a seal-able plastic bag or container and set in the fridge. Marinate for at least 24 and up to 72 hours -- the longer it is in the mix, the saltier the meat will get, but the more flavorful it will be. During the marinating process, massage the meat around in the bag to keep all the pieces in contact with the marinade.
• Remove the duck from the bag and pat dry with paper towels. Either follow your dehydrator's instructions for making jerky (I dehydrate mine at 140°F), or lay the strips on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet. Set the rack in an oven set on Warm until the meat is dried out, but still pliable, about 6 to 8 hours. Store either in the fridge indefinitely, or at room temperature for up to 1 month.

CHIPOTLE-CHERRY GOOSE JERKY

Steps:

• In a food processor, add dried cherries and/or cranberries and chop finely. Your jerky won't bind well if the pieces are too big and the fruit might clog the jerky gun. Next, add the remaining ingredients except the ground goose. Pulse about 4 times until seasonings are well combined.
• In a bowl, combine fruit-spice purée with ground goose. Using your hands, work the ground meat until it resembles a bouncy, uniform paste. "Overworking" the ground meat makes it denser, which helps the mixture bind, so don't be afraid to mix it for a few minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours to chill and set.
• Take the meat out of the refrigerator and give it another good mix. Stuff the mixture into your jerky gun, preferably one with a wide tip, and squeeze onto jerky trays into strips of your width of choice. Set dehydrator to 165° F and dry meat until you achieve the desired texture. Dry times will vary with different machines. My jerky took about 4 hours to dry.
• Allow jerky to cool completely before storing in zip-top bags. They will last about a week with no refrigeration. They'll last a month if refrigerated, and longer if vacuum sealed and frozen.

DEHYDRATOR/OVEN BEEF JERKEY

Steps:

• Mix the beef/turkey and all the ingredients in a large glass bowl, then cover it with plastic wrap and left it to refrigerate/marinate for about 4-5 hours.
• Using your Jerky Gun, fill your dehydrator racks, careful not too overlap the slices.
• After all the raw jerky slabs placed onto my trays run the dehydrator for about 8-10 hours at 145 degrees. The last hour periodically check on the consistency of the jerky. The edges will be the first to dry out. When the center still had a tiny bit of "softness" to it seems to be the consistency that is perfect to me. For a tougher jerky, of course, cook longer and just keep checking. Take a piece out and let it cool and see what you think about the consistency. When the jerky is cooled, it tends to stiffen up a bit. So, keep testing until you find your perfect "bite".
• The final count all depends on what length of jerky slabs you make. If you made your pieces about 6-7 inches long, you could get about 70 (give or a take) pieces. If you choose to go for the longer (11 inches), you should end up with about 40ish pieces. That's alot of jerky!
• Note~ Don't have a dehydrator, no prob. Just place jerky on baking sheets and stick in a 150-170 degree oven for 8-12 hours. Flipping over every couple of hours. If you have a cooling rack that will fit on top of your baking sheet, that is even better as this will allow the heat to evenly cook the meat where you would not have to flip the jerky. Place a wooden spoon in the oven door, as to prop it open. This will help the drying process by allowing the moisture to escape. Your house will smell AMAZING too!

DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Place beef strips in the bottom of a large bowl. Pour soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar, salt, pepper, meat tenderizer, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika over beef. Mix to assure all the meat is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove meat from bowl and place between two pieces of plastic wrap; pound to 1/8-inch thickness.
• Arrange the meat strips on the tray of a dehydrator and dry at your dehydrator's highest setting until done to your liking, at least 4 hours. Store in an airtight container or resealable bags.

TERIYAKI JERKY

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except meat and Coke.
• Whisk well together and pour into ziplock bag. Take meat either to a meat shop, or slice yourself, against the grain (makes it more tender) in 1/4 to 1/2 inches. Add all meat in with the marinade.
• Finally add the coke. Mix together, making sure all the meat is coated. Open up and let all the air out and seal again.
• Let marinate between 8 hours to 16 hours. I usually mix mine in the morning and let it sit for 24 hours.
• Strain meat, and discard juices and bag.
• Place meat on dehydrator trays, side by side (never layer pieces of meat on top of each other) and dehydrate about 8 hours.
• When done, the jerky should have no signs of redness and be pliable enough to bend in half without breaking.
• Bon Appetite!

BEEF JERKY MADE WITH A DEHYDRATOR RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Remove the fat as desired from the meat and place in freezer for one to two hours. When it is semi-frozen, cut it into 3/8 to 1/4 inch thick strips. (To save time, you can ask a butcher at the grocery store meat counter to slice it very thin for you. This skips the need to freeze the meat for slicing.) Keep in mind, meat cut against the grain will be tender and break easily, meat cut with the grain will be chewy. Mix remaining ingredients together in a bowl to make the marinade. Place meat into a glass container and pour marinade overtop. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (I have had great success with leaving it overnight.) Drain meat in a colander and place on dehydrator trays. Do not overlap the meat and turn once while drying. Dry at 145°F for 8 to 10 hours. I begin to check progress after 4 hours. It is ready when it bends like a willow without breaking. Store in refrigerator in ziploc bags or Mason jars.
