Ingredients

• 2 pounds of venison, sliced into thin strips
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, liquid smoke, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add the venison strips to the marinade, making sure each strip is coated evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) or the lowest setting.
4. Place the marinated venison strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drippings. Make sure the strips are not touching each other.
5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the jerky is dry and slightly firm to the touch. Rotate the trays halfway through the cooking process to ensure even drying.
6. Once the jerky is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
7. Store the Minnesota Whitetail Jerky in an airtight container or resealable bags for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
