anyone have a jerky recipe

[Awesome]

Does anyone have any jerky recipes they would be willing to share?

I;ve got some venison on hand and would like to try out something new if anyone has something they can suggest.
(detailed instructions would be greatly appericiated! since I am greatly lacking in the cooking department)

I've tried several different recipes over the years and end up going to the local Wally World and buying a box of pre mixed jerky cure. It taste as good as any I've tried and is a lot less mess in the kitchen for the wife to b*tch about,and you can add extra spices to the mix.

What, No Salt :eek: How am I supposed to keep my blood pressure up ? Gotta have some salt.

[Awesome]

Really no salt?

[prkchp76]

salt is an artifiscial preserveative if you want salt do it once you put it on the dehydrater not in the mix will be too strong

[Awesome]

will it work on the dehydrator without salt?

[prkchp76]

yes salt is just a preservative you can also smoke meat the salt is just a sealer that is all it does help with the taste sometimes my suggestion would be try half and half and see which you like better

The Dear Wife and I prefer Alton Brown's recipe, at least the ingredient list.

Ignore his instructions; just throw the strips on the dehydrator if you have one, or leave them in the oven at lowest temp (door cracked) for as long as it takes.

Ingredients:

* 2 pounds of meat
* 1/4 cup of honey
* 1/2 cup of soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
* 1 1/2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes
* 6 minced garlic clove

OR

* 30 grinds of freshly ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke
* 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire
* 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
* 1 teaspoon of onion powder

Directions:

1. Slightly freeze and then cut meat into 1/4″ thick strips, trimming all fat as you go.
2. Mix ingredients and let meat marinate overnight.
3. Dry according to your dehydrator’s instructions or in oven on lowest temperature with the door slightly open for ventilation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but are you wanting to cook the meat in the oven or just take the moisture out of it? I assume you are slightly cooking it so your not eating raw meat??

Sniper - dehydrators do cook what they dehydrate... (in case you didnt know that)

I just made some venison jerky - was definately the best I ever had. Its easy to make, and easy to clean up - soak the meat for 24 hours in the fridge in Allegro Hickory Smoke Marinade. Go in every so often and flip the meat around and turn it, poke it a couple times with a fork. We like pepper in my house so once I lay it out on the trays I pepper the hell out of it.

Looking to make some jerkey. I dont have any venison, so Ill probably be using steak. Now of coarse I will need to get some steak with nearly no fat. I see to partially freeze it to help in cutting against the grain, then what to do from there? Is a dehydrator necessary, or would the oven do just as well? I am aiming for longest storage possible here...speaking of, how long would it be good for if in a vacuum sealed bag?

[FrogTacos]

Since you are using beef for your jerky, if at all possible, get the guys at the store to jerky slice a nice pretty roast for you. Doesnt usually cost any extra and they can do it a hell of alot faster. Although I have never tried it, alot of people do use their ovens to make it into jerky. I believe (definately find some resources on it - dont take my word for it) when using the oven ppl set it on the lowest setting possible. Lowest setting on my oven is 200 (my dehydrator meat setting is 155.)

When it comes to storing - I honestly dont know because it never lasts long enough in my house to even try.

[JackAysJake]

The reason I would like to get more information is for a SHTF food or even just going camping. From what I have found, the jerky is good for about a year in a dark dry cool place. What if you vacuum seal it and stick it in the freezer until you are ready to use it? Then it should last for a long time!
