Make this jerky recipe using caribou or another type of venison (deer, elk, moose, etc.).

>> Shop MEAT! Dehydrators – They're perfect for jerky!

Total time: 4 hours + 24 hours marinating time


Day 1 – Marinate and Cure Your Caribou

Ingredients:

  • 1 caribou venison roast (we suggest off the hindquarter)
  • 1 packet Jerky Cure and Seasoning

>> Check out this Handcrafted Walnut Cutting Board from MEAT! –
it has non-slip rubber feet for added stability!

Directions:

  1. Cut your caribou or other wild game into ¼-inch pieces. Make sure to cut against the grain.
  2. Carefully read the instructions on the back of your seasoning packet and mix it with the meat.
  3. Put the seasoned meat in the fridge and let it rest for 24 hours.


Day 2 – Dehydrate Your Caribou Venison Jerky

Tip: Spray dehydrator trays with cooking oil to avoid sticking.

Directions:

  1. Place your jerky slices onto the trays of a 10-Tray or 6-Tray Dehydrator. Don’t allow slices to touch.
  2. With the temperature set to high (167F), dehydrate the jerky for 4 hours. Depending on how you like your jerky, put it in for longer to get more dried-out pieces.
