MOTR Venison Jerky

[MuscleOnTheRidge]

Hey all, I have had quite a few requests for my venison jerky recipe, so here goes! Feel free to modify the recipe to fit your own taste or health needs,, and your tolerance for heat.

You will need:
5 lbs Lean cuts of Venison. I usually slice the hind quarter roasts or back straps.
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Lousiana Hot Sauce
1/4 cup Liquid Smoke
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Worchestershire
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup White Sugar
1/4 cup Salt
2 TBSN Garlic Powder
2 TBSN Black Pepper
2 TBSN Crushed Red Pepper
2 tspn Cayenne Pepper

Slice meat in uniform strips a little less than a quarter inch thick and 2 - 3 inches long, 1 inch wide.

Combine all of the liquid and spice ingredients in a microwavable bowl and mix thoroughly with a wire wisk.
Place in microwave for 2 - 3 minutes to melt sugars and allow for salt and other spices to dissolve in the liquid.

Pour liquid mixture over the meat in a very large mixing bowl so you have room to work in the mixture without making a huge mess. You can use a ziploc as well.. Both work well. You need to make sure that every piece of meat is thoroughly coated with spice mixture.

Place in fridge for 24 - 48 hours mixing occasionally ( every 4-8 hrs)

Place meat in a dehydrator (NOTE: I brush a jalepeno sauce on each piece at this point just to add a little flare and keep the kids out of the jerky) :onfire:for 8 - 12 hrs depending on the model and temperature. I rotate the trays every 4 hours top to bottom and begin pulling off pieces that are done at about the 8 hr mark. The meat should have flex but should not be at all mushy.

Place jerky in an air tight container and store in the fridge. Enjoy with a cold beverage of your choice.

Yes, this recipe is a HOME RUN. It tastes so darn good, and also goes great with barley soda.

What is Barley Soda??????

MOTR, that looks pretty good. I am sure you will have a batch at the shed fest to sample???

And maybe a Barley Soda for me??

It sounds ok.
I'll have to say Lousiana Hot Sauce is the bottom of the barrel & I wouldn't even use that stuff (it's nasty!)
There's plenty of hot sauce's out there that are better!
As for the other chile's you used well, to each their own. There's far better tasting chile's than those! If you want to keep the kid's out of the jerky, throw some Bhut Jolokia's, Fatalii's, 7 Pot, Trinidad Scorpion, etc... in there but if you ate 1 of the sliver's from one of these they would make you cry like a little girl! (going off what you used for heat)
I don't know why you used vinegar in the recipe, since you have alot of salt in there already! IMO maybe too salty ?
