First try at jerky ground venison.
I will never repeat this due to a couple reasons.
1. I used the jerky seasoning and cure that came with the Presto dehydrator.
2. Next time I will add some learns.
Seasoning and cure mixed and into bag for cure and seasoning to bloom and equalize.
Intended at least a 24 rest, but weather forecast changed my priorities.
Plopped on grill mat and covered with parchment paper to roll out
About 3/8" thick after combination of rolling pin and my palm.
On the pellet grill (pooper) with meat probe and grate temp probe.
I used my house blend of 1/3 each maple, cherry, and hickory Lumberjack pellets.
Temps in the 20's, so welder blanket over the top.
Held 200° most of the time except at the last 30 minutes when it went wild.
Meat pasteurized so I was happy.
A solid roll mat of ground meat is so much better that using the gun. 4 dried edges instead of the ? pieces of dried shoe leather.
I used a pizza cutter to cut into strips.
Thickness and texture was my liking
My morning coffee club gave it 4 thumbs up. 5th member wasn't there.
