If you like Jack Links Jerky, you’ll love cracked black pepper jerky. This marinade flavors each and every slice with just the right amount of pepper.

You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of canning salt
  • 3 tablespoons of fine grind black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of Morton® Tender Quick® curing mix

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, blending well.

Place 5 lbs of sliced beef or venison into a large ziploc bag, pour the marinade over the meat. Close the bag, using your fingers, work the marinade around all of the meat pieces, carefully, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated in marinade. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal. Place the meat in the fridge for 18-24 hours.

Once the meat is laid out on the rack to dry, season with cracked (or coarse) black pepper

Dry using your favorite method, as desired. We generally use our Nesco food dehydrator set at 165F for 4-5 hours.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything.
