Thanks for that VC. Done.

You don't cook good venison steak in marinade. A good steak should be cooked straight by its self, maybe a little salt.

Toby don't knock it till you try it.

I may like it but I normally hate marinades. I do have one fast one I make for if the meats too crappy to be cooked my normal way. I don't really have certain amounts like anythng I cook its just done how I feel is right. get a bowl some worchester sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, mix meat in then cook.

In the book that I got my recipe for the jerky from (The NZ Deer Hunter's Handbook and Resource guide) it says to store in a plastic bag in the fridge or freezer. I say just freeze it until we take it away and it should last sweet. Just one thing I would say is when you thaw it, take it out of the plastic bag and let it dry easy to avoid rehydrating it - that seemed to happen a bit when my last batch was in the fridge in a bag.

You have some of the ingredients to my marinade Toby and some I don't use. A few fairly key ingredients missing though.

I told myself that I wouldn't eat any so it was there for the trip. So far I haven't been so good at not eating it.

Iv been naughty and been nibbling on mine. Still got most of it tho.
Maybe if i freeze it the temptation won't be right there when i open the fridge

Agreed, but it's only forequarter so it's different. I wouldn't jerky the backsteaks

Not to worry, Rushy, I can do another batch if you eat it all.
