SMOKED VENISON JERKY | MEATEATER COOK



Smoked Venison Jerky | MeatEater Cook image

This savory jerky recipe includes garlic and black pepper to complement the wood-smoked flavors. I prefer to use tender roasts from the hindquarter (like eye of round or top sirloin), but any large hunk of red meat will do. These pieces should be sliced across the grain and marinated for two days to...

Provided by Danielle Prewett

Yield 2 1/2 - 3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 – 3 lb. venison roast
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp. Prague powder #1
3 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. black pepper
2 cloves of garlic, smashed or minced
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp. dried rosemary leaves
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Slice the meat against the grain between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thick. This is easier to do when the meat is chilled in the freezer for an hour or hasn’t fully defrosted. Place all the sliced meat in a large, resealable bag.
  • If you have a mortar and pestle, smash the garlic cloves until you reach a rough paste. Mix the garlic with the water, soy sauce, pink curing salt (Prague powder #1), red wine vinegar, black pepper, and sugar until well blended.
  • Pour the liquids into the bag with the meat and mix to coat each piece on both sides. Marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours and up to two days, tossing and mixing the bag periodically.
  • Prepare a smoker according to manufacturer’s settings using your choice of wood. Pre-heat to 160 degrees.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade and squeeze off excess liquid. Lay each piece of meat on a metal grid or pizza screen. If you have the time and space, let the pieces air-dry for a few hours in the refrigerator so it will absorb more smoke.
  • Smoke the venison for 3 to 4 hours. It should be fully dry but still pliable. If your smoker cannot get below 180 degrees, you can opt to smoke for 1 hour to impart flavor, then switch to a traditional dehydrator set at 145 to finish. This will prevent the jerky from becoming bitter or too brittle.
  • Once completely cool, store in an airtight bag for 1 to 2 months. The jerky can also be refrigerated for 3 to 6 months or frozen for a year.
  • Note: Pink curing salt (also known as Prague Powder #1) is a blend of sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium nitrite. It is used to prevent the growth of botulism bacteria, impart the savory flavors of cured meat, and give it a pink color when smoked. Although it isn’t required, I recommend it if you’re storing the meat for more than a few weeks. Do not use more than a teaspoon per 5 pounds of meat.

THE BEST EVER VENISON JERKY RECIPE FOR SNACKING



The Best Ever Venison Jerky Recipe for Snacking image

Venison jerky stores well, is easy to take on hikes or camping trips, and is packed with protein. And It's great for snacking on at any time.

Provided by Cery

Categories     Snack

Total Time 485 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 240 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 venison backstrap
1 15 oz bottle soy sauce (I use Kikkomen)
1 capful liquid smoke ((unless you're going to put it in the smoker which I like to do))
Homemade Lemon Pepper

Steps:

  • If your meat is not already sliced, slice it as thinly as you can. Meat slices easier if it is partially frozen. Then let the meat thaw completely.
  • Then mix the soy sauce and the liquid smoke (if you're using it) in a large bowl and add the meat. I like to turn the meat a few times to let the sauce get all through it. If you're not using the liquid smoke, you can put in some meat and pour some of the soy sauce over it and then add more meat.
  • Now make sure the meat is submerged as much as possible. If you have too much meat for the sauce, mix up some more in the same ratio.
  • Now cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator. You need to let the meat marinade for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Every once in a while take it out and turn the meat so that it all gets marinated evenly. After about 16 hours it will have absorbed all or most of the soy sauce mixture.
  • Option 1: Smoking If you didn't use the liquid smoke and you want to put it in the smoker here's what I do. Get a piece of parchment paper and put some of the meat in the middle a few layers deep.
  • Now, pull the longer ends up together and fold them over several times til you get down to the meat.
  • Then take the unfolded ends and fold them up on each side.
  • And then take a skewer or sharp fork and poke holes all over it. Top, sides, and bottom.
  • Then load them into the smoker. Just have it hot enough to make smoke. I usually smoke it for about an hour and then bring it in and put it into the dehydrator.
  • Option 2: Dehydrating The second option is to just put it directly into the dehydrator. Lay it out on the trays so that it's not overlapping other pieces.
  • Then sprinkle a liberal amount of the lemon pepper all over it.
  • Then put it into the dehydrator and turn it on. If yours has a thermostat set it at 155°F. After a few hours I usually turn it over.
  • Depending on the dehydrator you have, you may need to swap the trays around to maintain an even heat. I also consolidate the meat into fewer trays as it dries because it shrinks.
  • Your venison jerky is finished when it's leathery but still pliable. The drying time will depend on how thick the meat is, the humidity level, and the temperature of your dehydrator. It could take as little as 4 hours, and up to 12 or more.
  • After it’s dried, let it cool and then put it in an airtight container.
