Notes
- The best cuts of the deer are the larger muscles from the rear leg and hind quarter. Top round roasts, bottom round roasts, butts, and eye-of-round all make great jerky and are the easiest to cut.
- This recipe is also great to make beef jerky!
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute tamari for the traditional soy sauce.
- Don’t skip the marinade time. It will give the jerky move flavor.
- Use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic if you'd like.
- You can literally use this same recipe with a commercial dehydrator. Depending on the heat and quality of your dehydrator, it should be between 4 and 8 hours.
- Make sure you cut pieces thin. If you have a meat slicer, that is a great tool to use to get uniform pieces.
- You can also ask your local butcher to slice the meat for you.
- Cook the jerky to your liking. Some people like jerky that is chewy and not as dried. Others prefer their jerky to be fully dried out.
