Venison jerky is a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is high in protein and low in fat, making it a great option for those who are looking for a healthy snack. Venison jerky can be made using a variety of different methods, but one of the most popular is to use a dehydrator. Dehydrating venison jerky helps to preserve it and gives it a chewy texture. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can also make venison jerky in the oven. No matter which method you choose, you are sure to enjoy this tasty snack.

Steps:
- Whisk together the sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, lemon juice, liquid smoke, paprika, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Mix the venison a few times as it marinates to ensure even absorption of the marinade.
- Remove the venison strips from the marinade and squeeze off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Arrange the venison on the racks of a food dehydrator so that it does not overlap.
- Dry the venison on High until dry but still pliable, about 4 hours. The jerky should bend without breaking. Store the jerky in an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag.

Tips:
- Choose the right venison: Use venison from a young, healthy deer for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the venison properly: Remove all fat and sinew from the venison before slicing it. This will help the jerky to dry evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Slice the venison against the grain: This will help the jerky to be more tender.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the jerky its flavor, so be sure to use one that you like. There are many different recipes for venison jerky marinades available online and in cookbooks.
- Dry the jerky thoroughly: The jerky needs to be dried completely before it can be stored. This can be done in a food dehydrator, an oven, or even in the sun.
- Store the jerky properly: Once the jerky is dry, it should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Properly stored jerky can last for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Making venison jerky is a great way to preserve venison and enjoy it as a healthy snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious venison jerky that your whole family will love. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try!
