Venison jerky....errors made

[DEREKG22]

Smoked some venison jerky yesterday....it was my first time using the package of jerky/cure/seasoning stuff from academy....I followed the instructions to the t ....I think where I goofed was using the entire package, as I do tend to apply spices pretty liberally....it seems it was made for like 15 lbs of meat and I had like 4 ....its so salty the dog won't eat it...this jerky came out looking like it could go in a jerky competion or meat smoking magazine....the amount of smoke and size of strips was epic....talk about bummed....is there absolutely anything that can be done to rectify this?...a buddy recommended cooking with it...wife said absolutely not....next recourse is leaving it on the table in the breakroom at work and watching the guys fight over it....till they taste it

Try washing it off.

My seasoning mix does not use cure. My jerky only lasts a few days so I've never had to add cure. If needing to store jerky for more than a few weeks, vacuum seal and freeze. Flavor is black pepper with mesquite smoke mixed in

$8 for a packet that will season 45 lbs of raw meat , 2 FREE fajita seasoning included with each order

PM me if interested



fajitas done by Robinhood (Jason) using my seasoning

Jerky is supposed to be salty to a certain extent. That’s what preserves it most of the time. Only thing I could think to do is rehydrate it some dissolved sugar water to cut some of the salt. Jerky is trial and error most of the time and you will find over time that those box mixes and most recipes are overrated. If you are like me and like a lot of seasoning (flavor) do some trial batches with your own recipe and go from there.

Soak overnight in cold water in the refrigerator and then let dry. A lot of the salt will come out.

Soak overnight in cold water in the refrigerator and they let dry. A lot of the salt will come out.

perhaps add a peeled, sliced potato in the water which will soak up the seasoning and salt (like it does in a crawfish boil)

no clue if this will work but in theory it sounds good

[DEREKG22]

I'll deff try the cold water trick...maybe even ice water

Chop it up and fry it a little bit, then throw some eggs into it. Don't put more salt. Make tacos

I can highly recommend Blakes Jerky seasonings. All I use and its great. Also the fajita and Boudin seasoning are the bomb. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Take it to work with you and let coworkers see it. They'll ask for some and if it's no good maybe they'll never ask you again.

All that and next time read the directions on the jerky cure regarding amounts. Duh.
Laughing with you not at you!

[Slabby]

If it's the hi mountain brand you used, that stuff is great. If used correctly it's not near a salty as other cures. As far as fixing what you got, I think you are sol

I agree with the cold water/potato soak then dehydrate again just like you did the first time. Nothing to lose at this point.
