Best ever jerky (antelope or beef), solar too!

Everyone I give some of this jerky to, say it's the best they've ever had.  I use ground meat & a jerky gun.



This is great with ground beef or antelope.  If you use beef, use 90% lean or better.  This is for 1 lb of beef.  I will put the recipe for beef; if you do it with antelope I would use 50% more marinade to get the same flavor.

The frustrating part about this recipe is I learned it by watching someone who has no recipe.  So here's my best attempt to explain it:

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 shake ginger
1 shake dry mustard
8-10 shakes minced garlic
Pour molasses in thin-med stream for slow count of 3 1/2 seconds.
Mix into meat, put into jerky gun & squeeze out onto trays.  You can dry this in dehydrator, oven or solar oven.

Really simple & super tasty.  It is also an outstanding marinade for steaks, sheesh kabobs, & chicken or fajitas.  Yummy!!

I also tried this in the solar oven.  The top piece is in my dehydrator, the bottom piece is in the solar oven. It shrunk smaller, & had more flavor because of this.  Both tasted great.  One might fill your tummy more, & one would take less room to store.  I store this in the fridge, & then if we haven't eaten it after a few months (rare), I put them in #10 cans & seal them.
