Beer-Marinated Deer Jerky

Beer-Marinated Deer Jerky

Lean deer meat marinated in beer and spices to perfection overnight, then dehydrated. The jerky takes a while to make, but it is relatively easy, and well worth the wait. My whole family loves it and I bet yours will too.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean venison, cut into thin strips
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (such as Budweiser®)
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Step 1
Removing all fat and gristle from venison.

Step 2
Mix venison with beer, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt, garlic, curry powder, black pepper, and ginger together in a medium stainless steel bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Step 3
Remove venison from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 4
Place the meat on the racks of a dehydrator, so that there is room for the air to flow evenly over all of the pieces.

Step 5
Let dehydrate to desired consistency according to individual appliance instructions, 6 to 8 hours.

Cook’s Note:

Your dehydrator may have other time specifications for jerky. If it does, follow the time recommendations for beef jerky.
