Just made a large batch with about 4lbs of venison. Here is the recipe for Black Pepper Jerky (my favorite):
3 cups amber ale or Jager (never tried the Jager)
2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns, plus 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper for sprinkling before drying the meat
In a large bowl, combine the ale or lager with the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and the 2 tablespoons of cracked black peppercorns.
This is based on 2lbs of venison so adjust accordingly. Trim and slice either with or against the grain. Cover and refrigerate venison in marinade for 6 to 8 hours.
Dry the meat, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set venison on a large wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Bake for about four hours until the jerky is firm and almost completely dry, but still chewy. Let cool completely on the racks before serving.
