"This is a jerky recipe my husband put together a while back when trying to use up the leftover venison we had in the freezer before heading out for the new hunt; trying to make room for the new catch. This is now an annual ritual. You can make this with any game meat or red meat."

This is more a comment then a review, I will try this recipe soon, you can avoid the pounding process by using a food processor's slicing blades or a meat slicer to achieve the desired thinness. Sounds great

This was stunningly great! I was skeptical at first because of the lack of liquid smoke & heaps of garlic, but this is REALLY good and just the right mix of tang and peppery heat. Perfect! Thanks for posting a keeper!

This is an excellent recipe.  I couldn't access my jerky recipe that was on another site, so I tried this, by using 1 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup Worc. sauce. No red pepper flakes or cayenne though. It still had a little of a bite with the black pepper, but not too much. I did dehydrate it at 125, since I wouldn't have been home to turn it off. I did have almost 7 lbs of chicken breast and the amounts were right on. Will use this now. Thanks.
