Jerky

Muntjac shot saturday, butchered and in the marinade on Sunday and will go into the jerky oven today. Today's flavor is Spicy Korean BBQ. 9 cloves of garlic and 4 birds eye chiles. Not for the faint of heart! Will update with photos of the finished product.
 
It does that if it’s not dried enough, almost makes you vomit 🤢 tastes rotten, but a few more days drying and it’s delicious 🤤
Ah. So that's what causes it. Thanks for that. I'll not bother with it again though, as I like my biltong quite 'wet'. I'll just stick to beef for biltong, but I'll definitely be making venison jerky again!
 
Yep, that's the one 👍 Well worth buying if you're going to be making it regularly
Arrived and will be doing some with the next beast I get. Any tips on making the minced type of jerky? I assume a nice fine grind (I have an ultrafine die I use for 'Nduja, think it's 3mm) and then mix well with the seasoning....do you do dry seasonings only or add in wet still? Will have to rethink my current jerky mix!

This was the recipe I used. It was so good I'll just be sticking with it 👍


The only thing I found when using the gun, is that there's a knack to getting a clean break when laying each strip of wet mixture onto the dehydrator trays. You soon pick it up though. And I just stuck with the wide strip attachment.

Ah interesting, was that just you mixing that marinade through the minced meat?
 
Not a bad Christmas present to get 👌

How you finding it? As I think that could be my next purchase
It works great. It has a huge capacity and you just turn it on and leave it. The only issue I've had is getting used to the metal, mesh grates. The jerky can get pretty stuck, but I've resorted to flipping the jerky a couple hours in and its fine.

Mine has similar grates and a light wipe of oil on before laying on the jerky works wonders. Going to try some of the piped jerky now so keen to see how that works. Might pipe it onto some greaseproof paper I think
