Not recently.

But I do have a large back strap from an Oryx. I told my wife she can use 1/2 of it for cooking but the other 1/2 will be jerky.

So, tag for recipe ideas.

I forget the brand of seasoning, but I probably bought it at Cabelas.  It worked great on strips of cut meat, but when I tried it with some ground elk it was too salty to eat 😞 wasted several pounds of fine elk meat.  I would only use cuts from a roast for jerky, save the ground meat for chili (with beans!)

My wife marinades it then grinds up the moose and dries it.

She bought some spices to try but she wants a powered mixer.

I use Hi Mountain seasoning & cure kits.  I’ve tried a few and none of the flavors were bad.

Cabelas hickory seasoning and about 4 jalape o minced in a food processor. 5lb elk and press into strips, best stuff I've ever made and won't make it any other way now

The only jerky I make anymore is whole muscle or Hank Shaw's pemmican style for ground.

Unless you've already ground the meat, don't bother grinding to make jerky.  Jerkys FAR better made from sliced muscle and not ground up.

Make your own marinade with soy sauce/worchestershire sauce as a base.  Add whatever spices you like.  I add onion/garlic/cajun/cayenne and whatever else looks good...along with some curing salt.  


Then all you do is dry it in a dehumidifier.  Done.  


Pointless to bother with grinding the meat and dealing with an extruder...just adds a bunch of steps and equipment you don't need at all.  Plus extra time spent for no benefit.
