Little Chief Beef And Game Jerky


This is a very flavorful marinade for beef or game jerky. It's a nice blend of red wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt, with a pepper-onion-garlic zip. I use flank steak sliced about 1/4 inch thick and do the drying in my oven, but if you have a smoker or dehydrator, knock yourself out!!

Steps


Place all ingredients in a plastic zipper bag and refrigerate overnight.
The next day , if using your oven to dry , cover your oven racks with foil and preheat oven to 180 degrees f.
Transfer drained meat to baking racks and dry for approximately 6 hours.
Depending on how thick the meat slices are , drying could take between 5 and 7 hours.
Be sure to place a couple of potholders in the oven door to keep it slightly ajar so moisture can escape and the meat can dry more thoroughly.
