Instructions
1
Begin by slicing the venison steak into thin strips, ensuring to remove any visible fat to enhance the jerky's texture and longevity.
2
In a large ziplock bag, combine all the ingredients: soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
3
Add the prepared venison strips to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until all the meat is evenly coated with the marinade.
4
Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor infusion.
5
Preheat your dehydrator according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spread the marinated venison strips evenly across the dehydrator trays, ensuring they are not overlapping for optimal drying.
6
Dehydrate the venison for 6-8 hours, or until the jerky is dry yet pliable. Test a piece to ensure it has reached your desired level of dryness.
7
Once fully dried, transfer the jerky to a clean ziplock bag. For the first half-day, keep the bag slightly open to allow any remaining moisture to escape.
8
Store the jerky in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for extended shelf life. Share this delicious snack with friends and family for a taste of Mondo's magic!
