Just finished putting away 5 bags of venison jerky. Started yesterday by thawing out the remainder of last years round-steak packs. After the meat was thawed I cut it into 1 inch x 1/8 inch strips (as much as possible...some pieces are smaller). Mixed up my marinade of teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, tiger sauce, texas pete, season salt, onion salt & black pepper. Then I let the meat marinate overnight for at least 10 hours. This morning I removed the meat from the marinade and put it in the dehydrator and left it there for another 10 hours. Removed it from the dehydrator and let it cool down and then bagged it.

Should last me till the end of next years hunting season and then I do it all over again. :)

Several years ago I had a co-worker who was a hunter. One time he brought in some venison jerky from game he'd shot. I tried some, and I gotta say it was the best jerky I've ever had.
 
It's all good but I do like mine with a little sprinkle of Cayenne and coarse Black pepper, before it goes in the smoker, which is a notch up in the heat level from the normal batchs, that I turn out.

Some brines have red wine, coffee, Soy or Apple Juice as a base with lots of other "Stuff" added to cure 48 hours or less. However, I do not get carried away with the salt.......... which can kill a good jerky.
