Categories     Snack

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound boneless venison or beef
4 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari, or soy sauce)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (or homemade version)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring (provides a nice smoky flavor)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

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.
