Elk Jerky

[redheelerdog]

Elk Back strap Jerky:

• 2 bottles Soy Sauce
• 1 TBL Onion Powder
• 1 TBL Granulated Garlic
• 2 TBL Red Pepper Flakes
• Cut meat in jerky size pieces
• Brine in Soy Sauce mixture overnight in cool fridge or outside– stir every 2 hrs
• Next day, paper-towel off excess liquid
• Place on non-stick sprayed smoker racks - 200F
• Pull pieces as they dry in the smoker
• Vacuum pack

Enjoy Elk Jerky – this recipe is really good and I have made it for years.

I have been so busy this year with work I haven’t even gone hunting. I haven’t posted much on SMF either (did some cheese and that’s about it) – the elk I have was from a trip 2 years ago (looked great in the vacuum packs)

Time to get the smoker going and relax a little during the holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

More pics to come.

Lookin good, like jerky, but not sure I could cut up blackstrap for jerky. Gosh I love blackstrap. Only had elk once, and have been looking forward to my 2nd time ever since.

That's a GREAT idea! I never thought of making jerky out of Elf's.

Wonder what they taste like? 

I am sure Bear has already made them and has a DYI! LOL
