Deer jerky

brutus54 · Aug 24, 2024

I made a batch of deer jerky. I marinated it in teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pineapple juice and minced garlic for a couple of days. Then I spread it out on a cookie sheet sprinkled on seasoning salt, onion powder, and pepper. Then I smoked it in my little chief smoker with cherrywood. Going to eat some now and froze some for the hunts coming up.

Looks good,
I started using pineapple juice instead of water and I think it adds quite a bit of flavor.

Mark,

Got to the point I eat more of my deer as jerky than cooked.

Luv deer jerky! pineapple juice also has citrus acid in in that works like a tenderizer on tuffer cuts. Green papayas have the most. If you use the papaya watch the meat because it will literally melt the meat while marinade soaking.
