:helpsmilie::helpsmilie:My friend used to make it in the oven...Does anyone know how this is done ?
All I remember it was hung from the oven rack with toothpics and the door was slightly open.
Cant recall the temp or how long or even the marinade
Please help . :helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie:
Thanks

This has won the hearts of many. (Just ask the guys at the wharf on Maine Ave in DC. I've been able to trade it for consideration on seafood and I think Clarence might even give up some other,more personal favors if I ask nicely!)
-4tsp (caps) Liquid Smoke
-4tsp garlic powder
-4tsp coarse black pepper
-2oz honey
-2oz Lea & Perrins
-4oz Soy Sauce
-1/2c Lawrys seasoned salt
~15 to 20# very lean deer meat, cut ~1/4" thick X as long as you can make it (cut with the grain!)
-marinate overnight, turning several times (This is important as jerky is a salt/dry cure,you want the salt thoroughly through the meat! Usually I'll cut it up one night and put it in the fridge and dry it the next night)
-place perpendicular on racks at top of oven (touching is OK, it will shrink)
-dry in very low oven overnight with the door slightly propped open until thoroughly dry
-keep in an open container or freeze
