Old Man Kelsey'S Deer Jerky - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 lb. lean boneless deer meat, partially frozen
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 small bottle liquid smoke
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. hickory smoked salt
1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground pepper

Preparation

Trim all fat from the meat.
Slice the meat as thinly as possible.
In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
Stir until dissolved.
Add the meat and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Shake the excess liquid from the meat and arrange in a shallow pan or cookie sheet.
Dry the meat in a 150\u00b0 to 200\u00b0 oven until dry and brown,
a minimum of 8 hours.
Cool; remove from the pan and store in a glass jar.
If spicy hot jerky is desired, you may sprinkle coarsely ground black pepper over the meat just before placing it in the oven.
