Can I use this recipe to make wild game jerky?
You absolutely can! Just make sure to still slice your meat super thin, against the grain.
Beef Cut Options for Most Amazing Beef Jerky:
The key to a good beef jerky is to use extremely lean cuts of beef. Fat does not dehydrate well at all, so you will also want to trim off any large pieces of fat. Recommended cuts include:
Eye of RoundTop RoundBottom RoundLondon Broil
Slicing Tip:
Freeze your meat for a few hours before slicing to help keep the shape and uniform thin slices.
Spice Level:
Chili flakes and cayenne pepper are optional spices to add. If you want to keep your jerky mild, leave them out. Alternatively, you can add the spices to your own personal taste preferences for a medium to more hot spice level.
Soy Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce Substitute:
Liquid aminos can be used as a direct replacement for either soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce, or both!
Smoker Instructions:
Using a smoker is a great way to make beef jerky. Simply omit the liquid smoke from the recipe and keep the temperature below 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Watch closely and rotate.
Oven Instructions:
If you do not have a dehydrator or smoker, you can still make beef jerky in your oven so long as you can adjust the temperature low enough. Keep the temperature at or below 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious beef recipes:
