Ingredients

• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• to taste none hot sauce
• 2 pounds venison strips

Method

1. In a spacious glass or ceramic bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, liquid smoke, black pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, paprika, and your preferred hot sauce. Whisk until everything is well combined.
2. Introduce the venison strips into the marinade, tossing them well to ensure an even coating. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, stirring occasionally to enhance flavor absorption.
3. Once marinated, remove the venison strips from the marinade, gently squeezing to eliminate any excess liquid. Discard the leftover marinade and arrange the venison strips in a single layer on the racks of your food dehydrator.
4. Set the dehydrator to the High setting and allow the venison to dry for approximately 4 hours, checking periodically. The jerky should become firm yet still bendable without cracking. Once dried, store the jerky in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to keep it fresh.
