Step by Step Instructions

• 

  Step One

  If you had your local butcher cut and trim your meat, this is going to go very quickly. Just go through all the meat and trim it leaner if you would like to. Then cut it into desired sized pieces. Set aside when completed.
• 

  Step Two

  Into a plastic bowl, measure the needed water and liquid smoke (if desired). Then add the seasoning mix and pink Prague powder, mixing well.
• 

  Step Three

  Pour mixture over the meat and turn the meat over several times to coat the meat well. Put into the refrigerator and marinate overnight or 8 hours, turning occasionally for best results.
• 

  Step Four-Oven

  Do not pat the meat dry. Place meat evenly on the bamboo skewers and hang from the oven racks. Do not overcrowd. Maintain the temperature at 155 degrees. Beginning at 3 hours, check for doneness often.
• 

  Step Four-Dehydrator

  Do not pat your meat dry. Place jerky meat onto dehydrator racks spacing evenly. Starting at 3 hours, check for doneness frequently.
• 

  Step Five

  Remove jerky from racks, smoker and/or oven when the jerky has reached your desired texture. It should bend but not break, and have a little 'give' to the meat. ENJOY!! And please be sure to come back for more!
