Simple Dehydrated (dried) Venison Recipe

[braegen]

Our local dollar store for a time was selling Louisiana Steak Sauce for a $1 (12 ozs.) - (a blend of Worcester, soy sauce and salt). I mention Dollar General alot because it is only 2 blocks away and we walk to shop there often.

At any rate, soak the meat in the sauce for 12+ hours, plenty of salt within the sauce to cure the meat. Glaze with course ground black pepper and a little onion powder prior to dehydrating. Keeping it simple is the only way imo!

Fresh out of marinade and glazed with pepper and onion powder.

This is essentially salt cured dried meat, you will taste the salt (trust me), no need to refridgerate or freeze, store in a container allowing air to get to the meat. Would easily last 6 months or better, but most likely you will find it won't be around that long! ;D

That does make a person hungry, it looks real tasty. Hey nothing wrong with the dollar store, and if you walk there you save money two ways plus getting some exercise. Sure hope they have some of that steak sauce in our dollar store.

Is that all you do is add Louisiana Steak Sauce then soak the deer meat in to it for 12+ hours, glaze with course ground black pepper and a little onion powder prior to dehydrating? My grandson kill a deer and he wants me to fix some jerky for him, thanks for the recipt. :)

That is all, it's pretty simple.

I have also used a soy sauce/worcestershire mix as well. Black pepper, red pepper, onion power, garlic powder, etc. all add to the flavor.

The soy sauce generally has enough salt in it to cure the meat, the rest is for added flavor :)
