Deer season is almost in - time to stock up on recipes! This is the recipe I grew up on. My mom always used it to make deer jerky. If you're watching your sodium - use low sodium soy sauce and omit the seasoned salt, it still comes out great!

  • 3 - 4 pounds meat
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder - (i use 1 tablespoon)

How To Make jerky recipe

  • Step 1
    If using whole meat - Cut into long narrow strips, marinate in sauce for at least 2 hours. You can either weave the tops of the strips through bamboo skewers to hang from top rack in oven or lay directly on dehydrating tray. Bake at 200 degree for 3 - 4 hours. If you're not sure how done you want your meat, take one out, let cool and try it first.
  • Step 2
    If you use ground meat - mix the sauce with the meat thoroughly. Let sit overnight in fridge before dehydrating. I usually cook a small piece of meat in a skillet before I dehydrate to make sure they are well flavored and not too salty. If it's too salty add more ground meat. I use a jerky cannon or blaster to make my strips. You can also roll out meat between wax paper or plastic wrap and then slice into strips. I use a dehydrator or my electric smoker w/o the wood chips. It usually takes me about 6-10 hours.
