Ready In
- Combine curing mixture, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seed, ground pepper, red pepper, and liquid smoke in a large bowl. Mix until evenly blended, and set aside.
- Slice venison with the grain into strips 3/16-inch thick, and 2-inches wide. Add to curing mixture and gently mix together until every slice is coated with curing mix. Place into a plastic bag, squeeze out all air, and seal; or place into a glass or plastic bowl and cover. Refrigerate for at least 18 hours to cure.
- Turn oven to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Spray two wire racks with cooking spray, and place onto cookie sheets.
- Squeeze excess liquid from the venison, and lay the strips onto the prepared wire racks, making sure the pieces do not touch each other. Place the jerky into the oven, and cook until dried, 3 to 8 hours, depending on the temperature of your oven.
- You can tell the meat is done when it no longer bends and you could break off a piece with ease, but the meat should not be so dry as to be crisp and break. It is better to be less dry than over dried, because you can finish it by letting it air dry to perfection. Do not worry about color changes of the jerky, it will get lighter and harder as it continues to dry over time. Jerky can be frozen or kept in sealed containers in the refrigerator.

We have used this recipe for years. There is no better anywhere!! We are not fans of anything sweet when it comes to meat but this gentle sweetness is insane when combined with the red pepper ...

Used this recipe to the letter for 5lbs of deer heart. Recipe scaled up very well. Be sure to use the recommended amount of Morton Tender Quick salt, and go sparingly on the liquid smoke. ...

I had the smoker going all of Memorial Day Weekend and decided to empty the venison out of the freezer. I did use a smoker instead of the oven but this recipe is spot on for venison jerky.
