5 trays of venison jerky in the dehydrator! Took me an hour to cut it into thin strips :emoji_sweet_potato:

Great idea, I've got venison in the freezer but I've already cubed it for stew. The next gift will be getting some set aside for dehydrating.

Looking good :)

A homemade biltong box will make a lovely job of venison. Cut down the grain in 1cm strips, washed in vinegar, coated in biltong spice of your choice of at least 40% salt. 3-5 days in the dryer and sliced into thin strips. Yum.

I used an old kitchen cabinet, 240v computer fan, and a 60W bulb. I've got some pics.

I need to perfect my technique, I've got some nice steak 'things' that are as dry as a bone but with a lot of spit are really flavoursome, just not jerky.

Marinated in soy sauce, Worcester sauce, smoked paprika, Tabasco salt and pepper. Has a slight spicy bite to it

I generally use soya sauce, worcester, tabasco, dried chilli, dried garlic with a smidgin of extra virgin olive oil. I know 'fat is the enemy' but it seems to make a better marinade for pretty much everything. I've got brick hard bits of steak that are a couple of years old that haven't killed me..... yet.
