My last 3 lbs of gator heading towards jerky

This ought to be interesting.

I need to find somewhere local to get gator, you would think it would be easy, but it isn't.

Easier to get NY food.  ::)

[KyNola]

What a great idea Rick! ;)

[NePaSmoKer]

West coast has muebe nuggets.

SE GA has nepasGnuggets  ;D

Sorted and rinsed the gator.



Cut into gator nuggets. Going with 2 marinades along with 1 cup water and 1/2 tsp cure 1.



The gator is not as dense as chicken breast so i'm only going to vac tumble for 5 mins then into the fridge overnight.







After 5 mins of tumble its going in fridge.


Be back tomorrow on how i'm going to do this.

Just so happens I have 2 lbs. of gator meat thawing in the frig too.

Can't wait to see how this all turns out. :)

[NePaSmoKer]

Going this way now.

They done


Just a tad dry but not bad, next time add 1.5 Tbs canola to the marinade.

Interesting, would like to try that.
Have not had gator in years.
It's hard to find in the upstate.
