Hawaiian Style Jerky Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the ground venison, canning salt and Tender Quick®, mixing thoroughly. Press the meat into a large cake pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let the ground venison cure in the fridge for two more days, mixing twice a day. When the venison is mixed for the last time, add the remaining ingredients, making sure that everything is completely mixed together. The best tools to do the mixing with are a pair of hands. Squishing, kneading and pressing do a better job than any spoon can. To form it, the easiest way is to use a jerky shooter. Form it onto the racks of a dehydrator, or onto cookie sheets if you're drying the meat in the oven. Set the oven to 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit, or as close as you can get. It will take four to six hours to dry the cured venison jerky.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, and some cracked black pepper. Season the meat lightly, using only part of the mixture. Reserve the remaining spices. Place into an airtight plastic container or bowl, and refrigerate.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, liquid smoke flavoring and pineapple juice. Heat until the brown sugar has completely dissolved. Refrigerate marinade until cool.
• Pour cooled marinade over the seasoned meat, and mix by hand to coat. Seal the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Arrange the beef strips on the rack of a dehydrator, and sprinkle with a little bit more of the spice mixture and red pepper flakes if using. Dry for 5 hours, or to your desired dryness.

Steps:

• Cut the flank steak into 1 1/2 inch strips.
