Instructions
Trim all visible fat from the venison and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
While the meat is in the freezer, combine all the ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag and mix well.
Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain for an easy chew. Cut with the grain for a more chewy jerky.
Add sliced venison to the mixture in a ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade in a colander.
Dry with your
favorite jerky making method
. I used my
Excalibur Dehydrator
and dried for 2½ hours at 165F & 1 hour at 145F.
