Instructions: Slice three pounds of venison into strips about 1/8 inch thick to ensure total saturation of the meat while its marinating. Partial freezing beforehand aids in slicing thin. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir this mixture well with a spoon to dissolve all of the soluble ingredients.

Now the marinaade is ready to be used. Place the strips of meat in the marinade, be sure theyre completely submerged. Marinate overnight, turning if necessary. Lay marinated meat strips on oven rack. Cook for 6 to 8 (6 is better) at 150 degrees. They get crisper the longer they bake. Store finished jerky in zip-lock bags or other airtight containers to seal in freshness. Jerky will keep up to two years. A good book on making beef jerky and other light-weight foods is:
