novice jerky chef
i just made my first batch of deer jerky yesterday and was wondering what you guys use to season the meat. This is what i did and how i seasoned the meat.
i took a pack of hind quarters which were prepared for minute steaks (cube steak) and cut them into 1'4 inch strips. I thought this meat would make a more tender jerky.
i seasoned the meat with pepper, a tiny bit of salt, and soaked it in Dales steak seasoning for about 10 minutes.
dehydrated it for exactly 5 hrs.
The jerky cook time was perfect for my taste. It was, of course, a little too "dalesy", but i love that stuff so it is good by me.
It tastes like it could be missing a little something...any suggestions on how ya'll fix up your jerky. I'd love to try something new.
