Venison vs Beef Jerky Tenderquick

[locomotiveman]

WONDERING: After 20/yrs of great hot-smoked Beef Jerky, does Venison cut 1/4” thick need a change to amt. of TenderQuick per/lb ?? BTW: I do a Brown Sugar, SoySauce, Pepper, Garlic and TC dry marinade. Tkx.

No adjustment needs to be made to the poundage. Just know that if using acidic things like soy, you must cure the meat first for 12-24 hours before adding the soy or woorsey sauce. These acids will almost immediately burn off the nitrite and kill the actual cure affect.

Nope . 1 Tbls . per pound of whole muscle meat . I go 3 days in a bag , and mix each day .
Rinse dry and reseason with black pepper . No added salt after the rinse .
