Deer Jerky With Creole Seasoning | Commercial Dehydrators

You can also use this peppy marinade with pork.

I love using this marinade with flank steak but it also works with pork and fish. Grinding the meat will give the jerky a different textureless tough and easier to chew. You'll need a jerky gun for this. It works much like a pastry bag (which you can use instead), in that you fill it with the ground meat mixture and can then squeeze it out into thin strips or sticks in a uniform manner, making a more attractive jerky stick.

If you are looking for a delicious jerky preparation but want a leaner protein, try this turkey jerky recipe. Be sure to trim any remaining fat from turkey prior to dehydrating.

Use the leanest possible ground beef to create a beef jerky product that dehydrates well. When working with a jerky gun, make sure to keep the meat very cold.
