The venison should be a good cut, ie from haunches or from a long grained section of meat.
1. Slice meat with grain ( across grain produces tougher and more fragile pieces) 1/8th thick or thereabouts.
2. Marinade. For approx 2 pounds meat, 1 kilo- ish add 2 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce , 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce,3 tablespoons soft brown sugar or dark treacle /molasses. 1 tablespoon crushed black peppers, 1/2 oz of stabilizer (from any good butchers suppliers) this kills enzymes I believe!!.
3. Mix meat and marinade keep in fridge for a couple days turn frequently.(or when you remember to.)
4. The most important bit dry, dont cook the venison, I found that the oven at 100c is enough. Hang meat strips on toothpicks on oven shelf. Put a drip tray underneath, prop the door open with a wooden spoon or something , to let condensation out.
5. Allow at least 8 hours to cure , check for dryness often as you like , when you think the Jerky is dry enough
allow to rest till cool.
6. I Vacuum pack mine for long keeping , failing that place in bags and keep in fridge.
Trust me it wont last long once people get a taste for it!!
Oh Well just my thoughts , if anyone has any other methods please send details
Thanks Trapper
