Venison Jerky
Submitted by Marc Manuszak, Infrastructure Specialist 2
Jerky is a great option for a protein boost on the go, in the field, or at your desk. We love this traditional marinade, but feel free to experiment with ingredients or buy pre-made seasonings to fit your taste! Venison or goose breast can be used in this recipe.
Serving size will vary.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds flank or round venison steak (or goose breast), cut into thin 1/8” thick slices
- ½ cup lite soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
Directions
- Whisk all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
- Combine meat in marinade and pour into a Ziplock bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. (Optional: Place dipped meat into food dehydrator vacuum sealing marinade container and run 1-2 cycles on marinating mode instead of overnight in Ziplock bag.)
- Dehydrate on high at 160°F for 3.5 to 4 hours or until desired texture is reached.
