Answer 3

I make lots of venison jerky but i use a smoker. I use only salt but you can add any spice you want. marinate in real salty water for a couple of days then when you're ready to smoke take it out of the salt water and soak in plain water for an hour or so. you can make a nice smoker out of a trash can and an old fridge rack. cut some holes in the lid to let the smoke out. use charcoal at first until the wood is burning good. I like alittle flame and not alot of smoke but thats to my taste. You can buy hickory chips and chunks most anywhere. I use maple myself cause its all over the place here and gives a real mellow taste. Oh, yeah. cut your meat in half inch thick by one inch and whatever lenght you want.

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper, or to taste
1 pound lean beef sirloin tip, sliced into 1/8 inch strips
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
5 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl or cup, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, and some cracked black pepper. Season the meat lightly, using only part of the mixture. Reserve the remaining spices. Place into an airtight plastic container or bowl, and refrigerate.
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, liquid smoke flavoring and pineapple juice. Heat until the brown sugar has completely dissolved. Pour over the meat, and mix by hand to coat really well. Seal the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to marinate.
Arrange the beef strips on the rack of a dehydrator, and sprinkle with a little bit more of the spice mixture and red pepper flakes if using. Dry for 5 hours, or to your desired dryness.
Hint

Answer 5

You'll need to invest in a dehydrating machine. You can purchase one of these for about 8o dollars or less at Kmart, walmart or costco. Then you'll need to purchase beef slabs or thin beef steaks and find a recipe that you enjoy.

Answer 6

Best bet is to get a smoker, then you can hickory smoke the meat. All the smokers come with recipes and wood chip suggestions.
