How Do You Make Deer Jerky Marinade?
Deer jerky is a tasty treat and a convenient way to store extra venison, especially for the hunter who is facing a freezer that’s already full. Deer meat is much leaner than beef, so it’s easier to prepare and, because the flavor is stronger, it tends to work well to with more pungent seasonings. Venison takes on and holds in the flavor of anything you marinate it in, making it a nice choice of preparation methods for those who find deer meat too “gamey.” From sweet to spicy, marinades are easy to produce and use. The guide below outlines the basics of deer jerky marinating, but the recipes can be easily adjusted to reflect your preferences. Cut 3 lbs. of venison into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide. Remove all visible fat. Make a basic deer jerky marinade by combining the following in a small bowl: 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup light soy sauce, 1 tbsp. of liquid smoke, 1 tbsp. of minced garlic, 1 tbsp. onion powder, 1 tbsp. of chili powder and 1 tbsp. of hot pepper sa
