Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds venison
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon stevia
Instructions
Start by slicing the venison into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. For best results, slice against the grain for easier chewing or with the grain for a chewier texture.
In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, paprika, red pepper flakes, and stevia. Stir until well combined.
Place the venison strips into the bowl, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors develop.
Once marinated, remove the venison strips from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to prevent steaming in the oven.
Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C). Set a baking rack over a baking sheet to catch any drips and arrange the venison strips in a single layer on the rack, leaving space between each strip.
Place in the oven and dry the venison for 4-5 hours. The jerky is ready when it bends and cracks but does not break in half.
Remove the jerky from the oven and let it cool completely on the rack. Store in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag.
Enjoy your homemade Keto Savory Venison Jerky as a delicious, high-protein snack!
