Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs venison thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste like sambal oelek
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing the venison into thin, even strips.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, chili paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, pineapple juice, and sesame oil to make the marinade.
  3. Place venison strips in a large ziplock bag, pour the marinade over them, and ensure they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat your dehydrator or oven to 160°F (71°C).
  5. Arrange marinated venison strips on the dehydrator trays or oven racks, ensuring they do not overlap.
  6. Dehydrate or bake for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky reaches your desired level of dryness.
  7. Let the jerky cool before storing it in an airtight container.
