Venison Marinade for Sweet and Spicy Venison Jerky

Equal parts Soy sauce and Worcestershire  sauce.

• 500 ml Soy sauce
• 500 ml Worcestershire  sauce
• 125 ml Teriyaki sauce
• 2 x Tea spoons of Wasabi
• 60 ml (I bottle) Smoked Chipotle Tabasco sauce

Enough for about two kilos of meat.

Method:

• Mix together all the ingredients.
• Add the venison strips and toss to evenly coat. I used a large plastic bag.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Mix the venison a few times as it marinates to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
• Remove the venison strips from the marinade and squeeze off excess.
• Arrange the venison on the racks of a food dehydrator so that it does not overlap.
• Dry the venison on high until dry but still pliable, about 4 - 5 hours.
• The jerky should bend without breaking.
• Completely cool in an well ventilated space before tasting or testing for dryness.
• Most recipes recommend allowing to air dry for up to a week before storing.
• Store in an airtight container, vacuum seal or in resealable plastic bags.

Yum 😙

If you don't have a food dehydrator, you can also place it in a 80 degree C oven for 6 to 8 hours. Never tried this.
