Some Like it Hot/Putting up Jerky

[patricimo54]

Started a batch of venison jerky yesterday took it out of the dehydrator this morning. I have use various recipes over the years, but for this batch I thought I'd try something different. After cutting up about 4.5# of meat into finger width strips or silver dollar sized medallions I mixed up a marinade consisting of 2/3rds cup Worcestershire sauce
one 7 oz. can of chipotle sauce
2tps of each of the following, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and honey



I then placed the meat and marinade in a gallon zip bag worked it around real good until everything was mingled.



I then placed it in the frig. for about 6 hours, flipping the bag about every other hour. I then removed the meat from the marinade placed it on paper towels to absorb some of the liquid I then used a small sieve to dust the meat with chipotle chili powder.



I then top the meat with crushed chili flakes and then on to dehydrator for overnight



After running for a few hours I rotated the trays. After about 5 hours sleep I got up and rotated the trays one final time and allowed the machine to run for a couple more hours. Finished product was about two pounds of jerky or 8 snack bags.



I left the chipotle powder and chili flakes off one tray of it for my Bride. I hope it isn't to hot for her.

Man that looks awesome One of these days I'm getting myself a dehydrator. I put off buying one cause I always planned on making one but never got around to it. I bet that is some spicy jerky right there ;D

Yum yum yum. You need to send a bag of that hot stuff up here to NE Ohio to keep us warm while deer hunting!
I think everyone in Texas loves chipotle on everything. How'd it turn out?

Awesome. I wished I had put the whole deer up in jerky.
