    I hope that venison isn't fresh....Anyway, I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I had it stored under "Jerky Recipes". Who would have thought......

    1 1/2 To 2 lbs lean boneless deer meat, partially frozen
    1/4 c Soy sauce
    1 tb Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 ts Ground pepper
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    1/4 ts Onion powder
    1/4 ts Hickory smoked salt
    1/4 c Firmly packed brown sugar
    1 sm Bottle liquid smoke

    Trim all fat from the meat. Slice the meat as thinly as possible. In a bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Stir until dissolved. Add the meat and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Shake the excess liquid from the meat and arrange in a shallow pan or cookie sheet. Dry the meat in a 150F or 200 degree F oven until dry and brown, a minimum of 8 hours. Cool, remove from the pan, and store in a glass jar.

    good luck

    I just got one of those "jerky shooters" at a local Wal-Mart, It looks like a small caulking gun, all you do is mix 1lb of ground meat(deer,elk,beef,turkey) a seasoning packet(they have like 5 or 6 flavors),and a pack of curing salt(provided). Pack it in the gun and squeeze it out on cooling racks. I bake mine for 2.5 hours on 200 degrees, it comes out nice and tender!...I will never slice meat for jerky again!!...the kit cost around 13.00 its made by NESCO, they also have a web site if your local Wal-Mart doesn't carry it....

    This is my Pa-Pa's jerky recipie and it is awesome.

    1 lb of deer/elk meat sliced thin.
    4 tblsp-1/4 cup Worchertershire sauce
    4 tblsp-1/4 cup Soy sauce
    1 tblsp Ketchup
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp onion powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tblsp liquid smoke

    Mix well and brine the meat for 12-16 hours, stirring/mixing occasionally.

    Use food dehydrator to dry per your dehydrators temp instructions.

    Definately try it then let me know what you think. It is truly wonderful.

    I make it like my Father did on the ranch. Cut all the fat and bones out of the meat and slice it about 1/4" thick. Salt and pepper both sides, string it on heavy twine and hang it under the eaves where it gets most of the days sun. Make sure the pieces don't touch. Here in Arizona in the summer the jerky usually is ready to eat inless than a week.

    Been doing this for years and all love it!
    Salt it, pepper it then smoke it (small room or smokehouse) using real coals and wood (mesquite/pecan/hickory) for 10 hrs. Suspend from ceiling with string. Bring in house to finish drying. No chemicals, just natural jerky- Its the best!!

    If I don't have deer meat I always use a London Broil. The deimensions are almost perfect all you have to do is slice it thin. If you get one during the time the meat guys are working they will gladly slice it for you ensuring slices that dry evenly (you won't have some too dry and some not dry enough). My recipe is easy:

    1 part soy
    1 part worchestershire
    black pepper to taste (I like a lot of this)
    crushed red pepper (about 2 table spoons per pound of meat)
    about 10 drops of liquid smoke per pound of meat
    dash of garlic powder

    stir all ingredients mix large bowl and soak meat covered for about an hour stir occasonally.

    I use a dehydrator so it takes about 8 hours to dry.

    Enjoy!!

    We use Canadian Steak Seasoning sprinkled on right out of the jar. Works as good as any and a lot cheaper than specialty seasonings.
