All,
I was wondering if you guys had any good deer jerky recipes you wanna share with me/ the hide? Or even beef jerky? I have a new propane smoker at my house I kinda was wanting to try out... Or if you guys have any good dehydrator/ oven recipes? Whatever, I'm all ears. I love jerky. Thanks
 
Slice it thin. I like doing this to ANY good roast. Back-straps, shoulders, hams, etc.
liquid smoke
worchestershire sauce
salt and pepper
red chile flakes
onion powder
garlic powder

-marinate for at least 6 hours in fridge, better yet over night

-put in your dehydrater for 8-10 hours

-enjoy
 
My first attempt at jerkey had so much salt and seasonings it dried up and turned white. I couldn't eat it - and I made it and was really going to try and make it work out.

So, I am looking forward to some good recipes from experienced folks for this coming year.

I will say, I had my processor make Jerky - and was very disappointed with the results. They ground the venison and added the spices to the ground meat then dehydrated. That's not what jerky is supposed to be like - that was more like a slim jim.
 
I have really liked the Eastman's jerky seasoning. They have it at China (Wal) mart. I've tried a few different flavors, and they are all good. Only thing I do different is it says to dry rub whole muscle jerky, but I mix it with water like it says for the ground jerky and let it marinate over night. I also like to cut the meat against the grain instead of with it. It takes less effort to tear a piece off and chew.
 
I use LEMs and a dehydrator. I get 3 deer a year processed into ground with no fat for jerky during the year. I rarely have no deer jerky with me. I didn't think I would like doing out of the ground meat but it is very good.

I have tried some seasoning/ curing mixes. I have let the meat cure for 24 hours then smoked it with hickory. I like the flavor but it always turns out salty. I follow the directions but maybe I need to cut back down on the curing powder. I'm curious about the replies I seen here. I'm gonna try some of your guys suggestions. Thanks.
