Cut meat with the grain,into strips six inches long, one inch wide and one quarter inch thick. Coat meat with salt and pepper, then brush with Liquid Smoke. Marinate overnight in refrigerator. Next day, drain meat and place in oven, using toothpicks poked through the end of strips to hang on oven rack. Set oven at 130 degrees. Put a tray under meat to catch the drippings. Leave oven door slightly open to allow moisture to escape. Most vens will hadle two dozen strips. Drying time is usually 10 to 12 hours. If dried properly, meat will be dark with no moisture in the center.You also should be able to bend them without breaking. Store in moisture proof container.
