Deer (venison) Jerky

Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 lb venison, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 in a gallon sized ziplock bag, combine all ingredients. allow mixture to marinate for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator (for best results allow 48 hours).
• 2 preheat oven to 150. drain venison and pat dry with paper towel. lay pieces across oven rack, small grill plates, or cookie rack (the idea is to not use a baking sheet, as the meat will take much longer to dry that way). cook meat for 1-4 hours, checking every half hour or so to see if meat is dried. feel free to use a dehydrator following manufacturer instructions.
