How to Make Spicy Jerky
- Slice partially frozen venison or beef into 1/8-inch thick strips.
- In a large bowl, combine the meat with marinade: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons A-1 sauce, 2 tablespoons liquid smoke, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix thoroughly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours (or up to 48 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat oven to 160°F (71°C). Place marinated meat strips in a single layer on wire racks set over a baking sheet to catch drips. Leave the oven door slightly ajar (use a wooden spoon or oven thermometer to prop it open).
- Dry the jerky for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of dryness and chewiness. Check frequently, rotating the racks every 2-3 hours for even drying. Jerky is ready when it's pliable but not sticky.
- Remove jerky from oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Enjoy your homemade jerky for weeks!
