ISO jerky recipe

[okiemomof3]

I have lost our family favorite jerky recipe and was hoping ya'll could share your tried and true recipes. We normally make venison jerky and actually have some meat in the deep freeze we need to use and make some up. My husband keeps asking me when i am going to make some but i hate to waste good meat and other ingredients for a sub par jerky

Disclaimer: I haven't tried these recipes, for the same reason you state! But I do think they look good. Maybe one response will trigger more...

Cut venison into strips,
run a toothpick through the end of each strip,
add a little salt and pepper,
hang these strips on your upper oven rack,
set oven on its lowest setting,
let it go for 8-12 hours,
bite off a hunk about every 2 hours and check it out.
when it gets to your liking, remove from oven.
If you store it outside the fridge, use a brown paper bag so it can breathe a little, keep in a cool place and it will last a good while.

Here's one I've used for years and enjoyed. I use it primarily for beef, but I see no reason why you couldn't use it for venison, too:

Jerky Recipe

2 lbs. lean meat
2/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 TB honey
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Liquid Smoke
1 tsp hot pepper flakes (if you like a little kick)

Cut meat with the grain into strips. Trim all fat. Mix remaining ingredients. Let meat marinate for 3-6 hours. Pat strips dry; dehydrate overnight or until done, around 7-8 hours.  Check it often starting after about 6 hours.
