"Little Chief" Beef and Game Jerky

Ingredients

cup sugar

1/4 cup salt

2 cups soy sauce

1 cup water

1 cup red wine

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Preparation

Trim all fat from meat. Slice meat with the grain to about 1/4" to 1/2" thick. The meat slices nicely when semi-frozen, or your butcher will slice it for you in his machine. Place meat in the cool marinade and leave overnight, or for no less than 8 hours.

Remove from brine and allow to air dry without rinsing. Smoke in your smoker for 12 to 16 hours or until jerky has dried out to your liking. Use your favorite fuel for smoking.
