Easy Microwave Deer Jerky Recipe

Microwave Venison Jerky Recipe

Ingredients:
about 1/2 lb deer venison (can also use elk or any other Big Game) Trim off all fat
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/3 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 and 1/4 tsp meat seasoning (like Lawry's or Accent, this is where you can get creative)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
6 drops liquid smoke

Make:
Cut meat into  strips about 1/8 inch thick and an inch wide, which is easier if it is a little bit frozen.
Combine all of the ingredients and place with meat in a sealed container or freezer zip bag. Make sure meat is well mixed with the ingredients.
Refrigerate overnight (or at least several hours)  to completely marinate the venison.
Take the meat out of marinade sauce and place the  strips on a microwave roasting rack. They need to have airspace all around them. (Throw out the marinade sauce, do not keep)
Set the microwave on high for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes check and add time in around 30 second increments.
The idea is to have a dried jerky, which means the meat has changed to a leathery texture - not brittle.
Store in an airtight container

Fish Stock

Using the Entire Fish 

Make a fish stock by simmering the skeleton
and the head, of filleted fish, in water for about 30 minutes, then strain.
Use the fish stock as a foundation for chowder, sauces or soups.
Refrigerate or freeze for later use. It is easiest to thaw if frozen
in 1- or 2- cup quantities.
Tip: Cheek meat, located just below the eyes on
large gamefish, is tasty. Remove with a knife tip and pan fry in butter.

Suggested Tools and techniques for Field Dressing and skinning your deer

Suggested Tools and techniques for Field Dressing and skinning your deer

Tools
• String for attaching temporary tag and  tying intestines

• Rubber gloves or disposable gloves

• Plastic bag for heart and liver

• Sharp knife, either a pocket or sheath-knife  will work fine

• Hoist system for raising deer off the ground

Make sure deer is dead! The deer may not be dead and may injure you by thrashing about or it may get up and run. Instead, cautiously approach a downed deer from the side away from its legs. Be ready to fire a finishing shot with your bow or firearm.

Unload your firearm, un-nock and put your arrow away, or take the cap off the nipple of your muzzleloader.

Attach your kill tag securely on the deer. Do not get too excited and forget to do this!

Locate the sternum (breastbone). Insert your knife at the bottom of the sternum.

Cut through the abdominal wall (not just the skin and hide). Keep the edge of the knife blade positioned upwards toward the hide (from the inside), not down toward the organs. Cut down the deer towards the groin.Cut around both sides of the penis and testicles or udder. Be careful not to cut the urinary bladder.

Cut deeply in a circular motion around the anus of a buck and the anus and vagina of a doe.

REMOVE THE URINARY BLADDER AND TRACT.

ROLL THE INTERNAL ORGANS OUT OF THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY OF THE DEER. 

Reach into the chest with your hands. With your fingers forward, follow the esophagus as far as you can. Cut through the windpipe and esophagus as far up as you can reach. Pull the windpipe downward, while cutting any attachments to the back of the carcass. Roll the deer on its side to empty the heart and lungs from the chest cavity. Don’t forget the heart and liver. These are excellent cuts of meat that many hunters leave in the field. If you do not have a plastic bag to carry these organs, place them inside the chest cavity for transport while carcass is being removed from the field. Hang the deer in a shady area to drain the carcass and cool down the meat.

Venison Cooking/Handling Tip

 Venison Cooking/Handling Tip

    Your first consideration is immediately after the kill. Make sure the game is completely dressed/cleaned. Heat and contamination are the primary culprits responsible for meat deterioration and the “gamey” flavor that many associate with venison ( Also attach your temporary tag using string, wire, or some other appropriate material that you provide. Until this is done, your deer is not properly tagged, and you are subject to a citation). It is important to get all blood and body fluids away from the meat. As soon as  possible, if clean, cold water is available, rinse the body cavity well. This will remove any remaining blood as well as help reduce the deer’s body heat. Hang and cool the meat as soon as possible. Removing the hide and propping open the body cavity help dissipate the heat from inside. Use bags of ice in the body cavity to help cool your deer if you are not able to process it quickly. Try to get meat cooled below 50 degrees as soon as possible.

Everything on one tape! (sponsored Link)
   Aging large game is critical before butchering, bare minimum of 72 hours ( up to 5 days) This can be done by simply hanging the game in a cool, dry place. This allows the animal to go through and come out of rigor mortis, which helps keep the meat from being so tough.
    A lot of the gamey flavor in venison comes from the fat. Before storing or cooking venison, trim off all the fat, cartilage, and silver membrane, this is where a lot of the gamey taste comes from. Whole meat can be frozen for about a year while ground meat is best if used within six months.
   When cooking venison you can add bacon, or pork fat and/or beef fat(also called suet) because venison is a lean meat(dry). Venison can be prepared basically the same as any similar cut of pork or beef. Remember that venison is a lean meat that can become dry and tough when using dry cooking methods, that is why it is best to use slow cook, moist methods for cooking. Serve grilled steaks and open-roasted steaks/roasts while the meat is still juicy and pink on the inside. Add a pinch of salt after cooking (salt before cooking causes toughness/dryness). Keep in mind any recipe you use ground beef for you can substitute ground venison.


Marinades:
The following ingredients work well as marinades for venison:
Italian, Russian or French salad dressings.
Tomato sauce(add a little water), V8 juice, tomato soup, and tomato juice.
Citric Juices like orange, lemon and grapefruit juice(they have citric acid which helps tenderize meat)  Also Worcesterhire & soy sauce.
