Jerky looks good!

Check out the bearded butchers on YouTube. I just follow what they do.

I've wanted to start making jerky for years and a gift card finally tipped the scale. Bought the Cabela's 80L commercial dehydrator this weekend.

Thawed 9 lbs meat (6 elk, 1 antelope, 2 beef)

2.5 cups coconut aminos (2 full bottles)
1 cup Madhava brand coconut sugar
4 Garlic cloves (because that's all we had, so I added 2 tsp garlic powder)
4 tsp onion powder
4 tsp himalayan sea salt
2 tsp black pepper

Hand sliced partially frozen to 1/4". Marinated for about 18 hours. Set temp to 155°F and time to six hours. It was done in slightly under 5. It could no doubt be tweaked but it is so good. The thick chunks are like candy. My wife ate half the beef already and I'm fairly sure I'd get a finger bitten off if I tried to take any. Just fine with me, more elk and prairie mcnugget.

Huckleberries and cream for desert, an embarrassment of riches.
