Here's a few that I've collected over the last while...

1 cup Teriyaki sauce
1 cup worchestershire sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbs. Montreal steak seasoning

Marinade in refrigerator 24-48 hours

Smoke the hell out of it with hickory chips

- 1 lb. flank steak, all fat removed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 small clove garlic minced very well
- a few drops smoke flavoring

Pre-freeze meat for about 1 hour to make slicing easier. Slice with the grain
into long strips. Add all ingredients and marinate for approximately 12 hours
Pre-heat oven at the lowest setting (approximately 170 degrees). Hang meat on
tooth picks between racks. Place foil on the botton rack, making sure meat doesn't
touch the foil. Cook for 8-10 hours. Refrigerate after cooking.

Open Fire Venison Jerky

This with work with most marinades except for smoke flavoring which is not necessary.

Rather than using a dehydrator or oven, make the jerky over a campfire using one or more
layers of wire rack.

Build a fire with hickory or mesquite and let it burn down to coals.
Use a thermometer to determine the height above the fire that stays constantly around
170-190 degrees and place the wire rack(s) there. Lay 1/4 inch strips of venison on the rack(s).
Add chips of wood to the fire occasionally to keep it hot and smoking.

This method takes about 3-5 hours.

Simple Jerky

Cut up a four pound butt roast into 1/4 inch slices.
Put the slices into a large mixing bowl and add the following:

- 1/2 bottle of worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 a bottle of teriyaki sauce
- 1 bottle of soy sauce.
- 3tbl spoons of garlic salt
- 2 tbls of onion salt - 3 or 4 tbls of cayenne pepper
- 1 table spoon of smoke flavoring.

Mix the ingrediants together, cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours to marinade (mix twice during this time).

Set oven to 200 degrees. Cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to make oven cleaning easier. Place jerky strips on oven racks. Keep the oven door open one inch to help circulate the air. Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Ground Elk Jerky

- 1 1/2 lbs ground elk
- 1 tsp. smoke flavoring
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. cajun seasoning (optional)

Prepare as follows

Mix all ingredients together. Place between two sheets of
waxed paper and roll out to 1/8 inch thick. cut into 2x4 inch
strips. Place strips on a foil lined baking sheet. bake at 150
degrees for 8 to 12 hrs.


BBQ Beef Jerky

1lb of sliced, lean beef
Worcestershire Sauce
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
BBQ seasoning (can be found near specialty spices)
Black Pepper

- Combine all marinade ingredients, except for BBQ seasoning and black pepper

- Add beef strips and allow to marinade for several hours or overnight

- Remove from marinade and sprinkle with BBQ seas. and pepper. Do this before meat
is allowed to dry

- Place in dehydrator (or oven if preferred) and allow meat to dry untill done.

This makes a great snack for trips, camping, and a very great idea to send to
service members overseas.

I finally remembered to dig my recipe out... actually it's always up on the side of our fridge!

For every 1.5 lb. of meat...

1/4C Worchestershire sauce
1/4C Soy sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Several dashes of your choice hot chili sauce - don't use vinegar-based ones

Mix dry ingredients together, adjust quantities to your taste

Mix wet ingredients together, add dry ingredients and mix well

Pour marinade into air-tight container, add all strips of meat

Store in fridge for 24 hours, mix or shake container well every 6-8 hours

Remove from container and let air-dry on racks for 30 minutes before adding to smoker

Use copious amounts of alder or hickory chips (soaking chips for 20-30 minutes before smoking (hint... there was a 30 minute gap listed above) will produce a much heavier and stronger smoke.)



If you want to really try something different that will make your mouth water...:thumbsup:

Use a hickory-flavored barbecue sauce as your marinade, sprinkle (lightly) Montreal Steak Spice onto the strips before adding them to the smoker, use Apple wood chips... it's to die for!
