  • Jerky Test Run

    Picked up some stew meat on clearance at Sam's. Grabbed the last two. Been looking for an easy recipe, one I can tweak. Ultimately I want to use this on venison in the smoker.

    After trimming I got two 4 Lbs. batches, loosely sealed in a foodsaver bags. One bag has about 6 dashes of worcestershire sauce, the other teriyaki sauce. Don't really need the extra salt, but looking for the flavor.

    Being in chunks, I may do this in the dehydrator. I want to see how this tastes. Tough to keep the temps down in the GOSM right now, and the hotplate won't get hot enough.

    PER POUND OF MEAT

    1 Tbls. Morton Tender Quick
    1 Tbls. Brown Sugar
    1 tsp. Garlic Powder
    1 tsp. Onion Powder
    1 tsp. Fresh Course Black Pepper
    ¼ tsp. Cayenne Pepper



    About an inch thick at most. What do you think....48 hours? 72?

    depending on the texture you want...but i would guess 36-48 hrs on the deydrator for a chewy texture...1" is pretty thick for jerky...looks good though...like the recipe...show us the finish pics when done

        I meant for curing/marinating. The last few batches I've done were chunks. I think Jack Links calls them nuggets. Big hit here. Did some Texas Teriyaki last time. Gone in about an hour. The guys at deer camp will eat anything. Lol.

              Your recipe is per Lb of meat I assume... never used a dehydrator, but I guess just keep your eye on it. I got some jerky in the WSM now :{)

                Yes, per pound. I'll edit that. Smells good, it's in the dehydrator now. I've used one for years. A little leery of doing it in the smoker yet. I'll wait until fall when I have more venison and it's cooler out.
