Liquid smoke is a prime incredient of my deer jerky...and People LOVE my jerky...
1/2 a bottle of liquid smoke
full bottle of "Dales Seasoning" (Soy sauce mixture)
1/2 a bottle of Texas Pete
1/2 a bottle of Lowrey's seasoned salt.
Stir the ingredients and pour over thawed thin-sliced deer meat in a 1 gallon zip-lock freezer bag. Should be enough to make 2 bags.
Roll the bags around until all the meat is soaked and put them in the fridge, laying flat. Every 12 hours or so, roll the bag around and flip it over and lay it flat again.
Marinate it this way in the fridge for 3 days, and then take the strips and put them in the food dehydrator until the meat is dried (Mine takes about 4-5 hours).
Try not to get any of the finished jerky on top of your head, because your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get at it...
