Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of ground venison
• 1 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of curing salt
• 2 tablespoons of Liquid Smoke
• 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of pepper

Directions:

1. Cut meat into consistent strips about 1/4" thick (click here to read about the importance of meat thickness consistency).
2. Mix all of the other ingredients thoroughly and kneed the mixture into the ground venison. Don't be afraid to get all up in there! The more thoroughly you mix it, the more the flavor gets in to the meat. Put the mix with the meat inside of a sealed bag or plastic container with a lid. Let this marinade in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours...longer is better.
3. Pull the meat out and pack it into your Jerky Gun. Then, extrude the meat out of the gun and onto your jerky racks (click here to read about different racking methods for making beef jerky) without pieces touching.
4. Dehydrate/bake/smoke in your equipment of choice at 160-180F (depending on your equipment's capabilities) or until your desired texture is reached. (Click here for more information about the different methods to make jerky at home)
5. Once your desired texture is reached, let your jerky 'rest' until it reaches room temperature. At this point, it has reached it's final texture and is ready for consumption and packaging.
6. Enjoy the hell out of it and tell everyone you know how Jerky.com helped you make jerky at home!
