Deer Jerky

[duckydoty]

This is my secret recipe thats not going to be so secret anymore.

This is enough marinade for 2 deer hams

1 bottle Worcester sauce

1/2 bottle soy sauce

2 cans Mt. Dew

Couple shakes favorite hot sauce

1 table spoon dehydrated onions

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 teaspoon seasoning salt.

Mix all ingredients together and let sliced meat marinate over night.

The most important thing to do is remove all fat from deer meat and as much sinew and silver skin as possible.

The more of this you can remove the better the final product will taste.

Slice meat as thin as possible. If sliced while semi frozen you can get thinner slices.

Just did up a similar batch

The Mountain Dew is an interesting addition, we just used water in its place and omitted the soy sauce but it came out fantastic

Do you do yours in the oven or with a dehydrator thingy ?

Kind of the same but really easy and good A couple of different thoughts. I use the liquid smoke even if I smoke it outdoors over wood coals. Outdoors I use peach and apple wood with pecan or hickory mixed in for heat and longevity of the coals. If I have a day of outdoor yard work I fill my smoker as full as possible and just check it every 1/2 hour of so or when I stop for a beverage.

3 Lb. flank or brisket

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

2 teaspoons accent

1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke

5 dashes Tabasco sauce

Trim off fat and cut meat with the grain into thin slices as long as possible. Combine all ingredients in bowl until dissolved. Pour over meat strips, cover tightly and marinate overnight. Remove from sauce and arrange strips close together, but do not overlap on rack Set on cookie sheets and bake in 150 degree oven for 7 hours turning once. Store in air tight container.,

I will try the mountian dew the next time. I have a recipe for cooking pulled pork or beef and cooking it in sauce that uses 7 up. It seems to sweeten and tenderize the meat.

Thom,

When we get together this spring for that Mark Twain trip you need to bring some of that stuff. Sounds good.

Duane pours Dew over his Wheaties... If you cut him, he bleeds lime yellow/green... If you put some baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in his coffee, he will glow in the dark...
