Notes
- The venison — While this ground deer jerky recipe is a relatively easy one, you should still make sure to go for a leaner cut of venison. The 80/20 ratio applies to venison as well. Keep in mind that the fewer connective there are, the better.
- The jerky — While it is clearly stated in the instructions that you should dehydrate the jerky for between 4-5 hours, another way of telling if it’s ready is that it should be able to bend without breaking.
