Little Chief Beef And Game Jerky - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs lean beef or 2 lbs game, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a plastic zipper bag and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, if using your oven to dry, cover your oven racks with foil and preheat oven to 180 degrees F.
Transfer drained meat to baking racks and dry for approximately 6 hours; depending on how thick the meat slices are, drying could take between 5 and 7 hours.
Be sure to place a couple of potholders in the oven door to keep it slightly ajar so moisture can escape and the meat can dry more thoroughly.
