I thought that I would share my jerky recipe that I like very much. it is great using lean beef or deer. If you use beef, get a very lean cut with minimal marbling… brisket works good. Deer or course is naturally lean. You want to remove all fat and then cut the meat into thin strips. After that, put it in a gallon ziplock with:
1 BOTTLE SOY SAUCE
2 TSP COURSE GROUND BLACK PEPPER
1 TSP GROUND RED CAYENNE PEPPER
1 TSP GARLIC POWDER
1 TSP ONION POWDER
1 TSP A1 SAUCE
1/2 CUP FIRMLY PACKED BROWN SUGAR
and put it in the refrigerator at least overnight and up to a day. Then put a toothpick through the end of each strip and hang them from the upper rack in your oven. Put some foil underneath to catch the drippings. Put the oven on 170 and prop the door ajar to let the moisture escape. Cook for about 7 hours.
