jerky cure brine

[mongo]

anyone have a great brine recipe for deer jerky or jerky of any kind of meat sick of salting the heck out of meat & would like to try a brine .

I do my jerky with a dry cure but I do not put salt in it. Just try it and see. There is honey and garlic and lots of other combos you can try. Besides why put meat in a brine when you are going to dehydrate it. Piker

Here is a good recipe. Also a great website if you search venison or wild game recipes and cures in the website.

I have a Big Chief and my favorite brine is:

1/2 cup pickling salt (not iodized)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3ish cup of black strap molasses.
Lots of garlic
Lots of black pepper
Lots of Cumin
Lots of Ground Coriander.
4 cups of water

I say lots because I don't measure.

Let sit for 12 to 24 hours..

Smoke with your choice of wood.

Because it adds flavor to the meat...:rolleye2:

you mean dry rub does not add flavour? Piker

Never said it didn't. You asked why brine the meat, I gave you an answer to that...

Indeed, but it does not denature protein which is the primary reason to select a brine over a rub.
For home use it is personal choice

If you prefer to rub, ain't nobody's business but your own.
