Deer hunting expert Marty Prokop teaches how to make great tasting venison jerky.

Rice Lake, WI, January 06, 2007 --(PR.com)-- There are two popular types of deer jerky. One is ground deer jerky. This is softer and easier to chew. The other is whole muscle deer jerky. This is the deer jerky you must pull on or tear to eat.

Here are more deer hunting tips from Marty Prokop for making deer jerky.

Deer Hunting Tips Making Whole Muscle Deer Jerky

“If you want to make whole muscle jerky, the best venison to use is the venison steak meat or rounds found in the back leg quarters,” advises Marty Prokop.

Using meat with sinew or gristle, such as front shoulder meat or tip roast, results in deer jerky that is more like dental floss.

With this in mind, it is important to plan ahead when you butcher deer and decide you want to make whole muscle deer jerky before you cut the back quarter meat into steaks. Steaks are cut against the grain of the meat and meat for deer jerky is cut with the grain.

In preparation for smoking or dehydrating, whole muscle deer jerky marinates in liquid brine or you can use a dry rub. Make sure the meat is covered well.

Deer Hunting Tips Making Ground Meat Deer Jerky

If you want to make ground deer jerky, you can use any of the ground deer meat as long as it is lean.

Make sure while butchering deer that you remove all deer fat, sinews and gristle before it is ground. This will improve the quality, texture and flavor of your ground venison deer jerky.

In preparation for smoking or dehydrating, ground deer jerky is mixed with spices and allowed to refrigerate at least overnight so the spices penetrate and cure the meat.
