How to Make Mondo's Hot Spicy Venison Jerky Can Substitute Beef

  1. Cut 2 lbs of venison (or beef) into 1/4-inch thick strips. Remove all visible fat.
  2. In a large zip-top bag, combine the meat strips with the marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste!), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Seal the bag, ensuring all meat is coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours, flipping the bag occasionally.
  4. Preheat your dehydrator to 160°F (71°C). Arrange the marinated jerky strips in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they don't overlap.
  5. Dehydrate for 6-12 hours, or until the jerky is completely dry and leathery to the touch. Drying time will depend on your dehydrator and the thickness of your strips.
  6. Remove from the dehydrator and allow to cool completely.
  7. Transfer the jerky to a clean, airtight zip-top bag. Leave the bag slightly open for the first 12 hours to allow any remaining moisture to escape.
  8. Share your delicious creation with friends and family!
