Ok folks I have a jerky recipe that is known as the mother of all jerky recipes. It has been called an orgasm in your mouth it is so tasty.
I use this for goose, deer, and diving ducks. (only way to go with the geese)
1/4 cup teriyaki (I use the Soy Vay brand. white label, blue chinese writing)
1/2 cup Dale's sauce
1 tblsp Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tblsp hickory liquid smoke
1/2 tsp Ground chipolte pepper or powder.
I let this marinate in either ziploc bags or a plastic tupperware thing for 4-5 days. The longer you can wait the better. In the refridgerator (sp?) flipping it over twice a day. Once in morning, once at night.
I usually make this little batch twice for about 1-1.5 pounds of meat.
Like JMax said, thinner is better. Keep you strips 1/8" thick or under and cut to width and length of choice (about 1" wide x 3-4" long).
Keep your knife sharp and you will come out with nice slices.
I put this on a cookie rack with a cookie sheet underneath lined with foil to catch the drippings or I bought one of those things that has 3 stacked racks with a catch pan underneath specifically for jerky at Sportsman's Warehouse today for $20.
Cook at 150 degrees for 7 hours. Leave the door cracked about 1/2". I use a wooden spoon that is about the right width.
Let me know if you have any questions because this recipe is amazing!!
