BEER-MARINATED DEER JERKY

Beer-Marinated Deer Jerky image

Lean deer meat marinated in beer and spices to perfection overnight, then dehydrated. The jerky takes a while to make, but it is relatively easy, and well worth the wait. My whole family loves it and I bet yours will too.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds lean venison, cut into thin strips
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (such as Budweiser®)
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

Removing all fat and gristle from venison.
Mix venison with beer, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt, garlic, curry powder, black pepper, and ginger together in a medium stainless steel bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Remove venison from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the meat on the racks of a dehydrator, so that there is room for the air to flow evenly over all of the pieces.
Let dehydrate to desired consistency according to individual appliance instructions, 6 to 8 hours.
