Time P1DT4h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup teriyaki sauce
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 pound venison, cut into 1/4 thick strips

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, lemon juice, liquid smoke, paprika, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Mix the venison a few times as it marinates to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
  • Remove the venison strips from the marinade and squeeze off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Arrange the venison on the racks of a food dehydrator so that it does not overlap.
  • Dry the venison on High until dry but still pliable, about 4 hours. The jerky should bend without breaking. Store the jerky in an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag.

Tips:

  • Choose the right venison: Use venison from a young deer, as the meat will be more tender. If you are using venison from an older deer, you may want to marinate it overnight in a mixture of water, vinegar, and herbs to help tenderize it.
  • Slice the venison against the grain: This will help to make the jerky more tender.
  • Use a dehydrator or oven: You can use either a dehydrator or an oven to make venison jerky. If you are using an oven, set it to the lowest temperature possible (usually 145°F - 155°F) and cook the jerky for 4-6 hours, or until it is dry and chewy.
  • Experiment with different marinades and seasonings: There are many different marinades and seasonings that you can use to flavor your venison jerky. Some popular options include soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, and chili powder.
  • Store the jerky properly: Once the jerky is finished, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The jerky will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Venison jerky is a delicious and healthy snack that is easy to make at home. With a little planning and effort, you can create your own unique jerky that is sure to please everyone. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try!
