Ooooohhh Jerky time.......
Permalink  
 


A good indication of your cooking is how fast it disappears....  Well either I surround myself with starving folk or my Jerky is OK cause it sure don't last long.. Made a batch yesterday and find myself making more today if I want any... Man I gotta find a better hiding place.. Here is what I do for Jerky..

1/4 cup worcestershire                                                             3-4 tbsp kosher salt

1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce                                                              1/8 cup soy sauce (not much or it overpowers)

1/2 cup brown sugar                                                                2-3 tsp. liquid smoke 

1 tbsp. tobassco sauce                                                             2 tsp. minced garlic

and as much of the following to taste that you like

Tony Chachere's seasoning

Paprika, Garlic powder, Black pepper, Louisiana Cajun seasoning, Cayenne pepper  (careful with the heat, some dont like it hot so I make both)

Mix all this good garbage up in a bowl, add it to around 3lbs. ground venison or beef or elk or damn near any critter that fits in the grinder..

Marinate for a day.... I never have time for this so I put all the mixture with meat in a vacuum canaster and seal it.. This cuts your marinate time to around an hour as it pulls the seasoning into the meat... 

Use a jerky gun squeeze round or flat and dehydrator for around 6-7 hrs. or do the ol way and flatten meat between wax paper and throw in the oven at 200 with the door slightly open.... It don't really matter. I like ground meat instead of thin sliced but you can do that also and just marinate the same...

Good to hear Catcher. It always surprises me how fast it can disappear. If you got a smoker,a grinder, and some casings try smoking sticks some time. I like them hot so my recipe zips but a standard jerky recipe under low temp smoke will make a deer just disappear.

Thanks Again! I like things spicy too. Is your spicy recipe the same with just more cayenne?

If talking jerky the answer more or less is yes, that and red pepper flakes and paprika and maybe a little chilli sauce in the marinate. Now for sticks you have a whole new variety option. This is more smoked and less dehydrated. You can add Mrs. Renfro jalapeno's to your ground meat, hot paste, tsai dragon peppers, habanero peppers , or anything from catsup and chillies to steak sauce. Now you have a whole venue of hot mustards also. Through practice and taste it is easy to make most tasty from cajun to tsai to mexican. Try some of each and the combinations are endless. You can even grind pepper cheese in your sticks and smoke away.

Thanks again! I've been thinking about buying a smoker, so maybe now is the time! I've never tried making sticks, but now's the time for that too. biggrin
