Hickory Farms

Microwave Jerky 

1/2 lb Trimmed venison
1/4 ts Salt
1/3 ts Garlic Powder
1 ts Accent
1/4 ts Black Pepper
1/4 c Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 c Soy Sauce
1/4 c Water
6 Drops Liquid Smoke

Cut meat into 1/8" thick strips, which is easier if it is slightly frozen. combine ingredients, and place with meat in refrigerator overnight to marinate. Then place the meat strips in a microwave roasting rack. set the microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes. after 4 minutes add time in 30 second increments. The idea is to have a dried jerky, which means a color change from brown to dark brown, and a consistency in the meat that has changed from supple to leathery in it's texture.

 

Homemade Beef Jerky 

3 lbs. meat (not ground meat)
2/3 cups Worcestershire Sauce
2/3 cups Soy Sauce
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. smoke flavoring
2 tsp. Tabasco Sauce

Mix all marinade ingredients together in a large (gallon size) plastic zipper bag. Add sliced meat (cut about ¼ inch) and refrigerate, mixing and turning about every hour. You should marinade it over night.

When you're ready to begin drying, place a sheet of aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Drain meat in a colander and pat dry with a paper towel (the drier the meat now, the better). Set oven at about 150 degrees and place the meat strips on the ovenracks. Leave the oven door open to allow the moisture to escape.

The drying time may vary due to ovens and the size of the meat. The meat should be firm and dry, and not spongy at all. But if the jerky is so dry that it snaps in two easily, than it's over dried.

    I think that you should add a warning about making jerky to the recipes at
    your web site. The USDA warns that meats need to be heated to 160 - 165F (for
    poultry) to kill any hazardaous bacteria that may be present prior to drying the
    meat. You can read about it at their web site:

    http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_sheets/Jerky_and_food_Safety/index.asp

    This should avoid any potential health threats to individuals experimenting
    with jerky making.
