I got a few roasts in the freezer I need to start clearing out so I'm gonna have a jerky making weekend. Any recipies you guys might recomend.

[flukemaster]

I don't do anything special but everybody loves my jerky.

1. Low sodium Dale's Stake Sauce is what I use when I slice my jerky.

2. When I grind it and put it in the Jerky Shooter I really like the seasoning packets you find in the Sporting Goods section of Wal Mart. The Original flavor is the best.

The trick is don't over dry it. Take it out of the dryer or oven a little earlier than you think. It will finish as it cools down.

Try this one:
2/3 Cups of Worchestershire
2/3 Cups of Soy Sauce (do not buy kroger brand)
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 TBSP Honey
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
dash of liquid smoke hickory

Marinate meat for up to 8 hours (overnight is best)
Place on racks and dehydrate

This recipe works best if you are using cut meat and not ground. Strips should be cut 1/4 in thick and depending on your dehydrator or oven. 150deg for 4-8 hours

Enjoy

Sorry, I should add that whenever you are cutting muscle meat for jerky be sure to cut with the grain. This will allow better marinating and also easier chewing. The membrane of the meat will soak up the marinade better and not dry out as fast. Cutting with the grain ensures that bites are taken against the grain and will not "string" out as well as makes it more tender

Hey just a thought on cutting wouldent u want to cut against the grain like parralel to the meat so it comes apart easier like how you would cut it for making steak.

Sounds great. Got a ? though. From the stuff I've read, it looks like you need a curing spice? or is that only with a dry marinade? Also, should I use a dehydrator or would it be better on the smoker? My buddy gave me a bunch of venison. I'm looking to experiment. I can only eat so much stew, chili, and stir fry.

That recipie is amazing make it how he has it only change the pepper to taste I like alot. My 2 year old loves it my students love it and offer to buy it off me. That recipie and my spike have got me a few hundred dollars in steel for some projects as well. It's that good I just let it maranaid 1 to 2 days then 4-5hrs in the dehydrator depending on thickness.

I think? you mean curing salt? If so the Soy has plenty of salt.

I'd like to try the smoker sometime but I will say I'd rather have it Dehydrated than cooked in the oven.




Another thing you can do with it (not jerky) cut it into steaks and pan fry it breaded in fish fry.

Thank you for posting. Made a batch and it turned out way better than I expected.

No Problem guys! Clayton is right, use the pepper flakes to taste. I actually cut it down to a 1/2 for my wife as she thought it was just a tad too spicy.
