Ozarks Style Jerky Beef Venison Or Critter Low Carb Food

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.

OZARKS STYLE JERKY (BEEF, VENISON, OR CRITTER) - LOW CARB

Steps:

• Mix Soy Sauce, liquid smoke, minced garlic, and (optional hot sauce) in large bowl. Set aside.
• Trim fat from beef. Discard.
• Slice beef into thin slices about 1-inch by 2-inches by 1/8-inch thick is about as small as I would go. Thinner slices dehydrate quicker!
• Add beef into marinate, stir, cover, and place in refrigerator.
• Periodically, about once per hour, stir beef and marinate. Marinate for 3 (minimum) to "whatever" hours. Longer marinating time equals more flavor. After about 12 hours, there is minimal change in flavor.
• Drain marinate from beef in colander.
• Place marinated meat slices on dehydrator trays. Try not to overlap the meat. Plug in dehydrator and follow manufacturer's instructions for drying time. (Convection dehydrators will require more time and trays will need to be changed. Forced air dehydrators may not require tray changes.).
