Deer jerky..... Nothing says

[zztex]

Jason, I just got a dehydrator. I thought if you didn't cook to 160 before you dehydrated, you would need to add cure to your marinade? No?

If you cook to 160 and then dehydrate you will have dried roast strips and it is nasty. I did some in the oven once and the spoon slipped out of the door...so after an hour I had 15 lbs of cooked beef strips. I tried to dry them and they were horrible. Think of a chewy dog biscuit. I'm sure there is plenty of salt in those marinades but I have never used actual cure on full muscle jerky. Now on burger/squirt jerky I have.

The meat is muscle so no on the muscle. I eat it.

I do remove most of the sinew and tendons....

I roll the Allegro Marinade method too...my wife loves venison jerky as much as I do but she sure gives me a hard time when I use the dehydrator in the house and stink the place up!

The last batch I made she took out to the back yard and hooked the dehydrator up to an extension cord!
