Preparation
-
Step 1
Place the meat in the freezer to firm for about an hour. This will make it easier to cut.
-
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut the meat into thin strips no thicker than 1/4 inch. Place strips into large resealable bag.
-
Step 3
Add all marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add mixture to meat, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Place bag in fridge. You should marinate 6-8 hours but not too much longer.
-
Step 4
After marinating, work one piece at a time, patting it dry with a paper towel. Layer beef in the dehydrator. *Note: the USDA recommends heating meat in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 °F before dehydrating. This step assures that any bacteria present will be destroyed by wet heat.
-
Step 5
Following your dehydrator’s manufacturer’s instructions, turn the machine on, and allow to dehydrate the beef strips, maintaining a constant temperature between 130 to 140°F. This process may take anywhere between 6-10 hours depending on the size of the beef, temperature, and humidity.
-
Step 6
Allow jerky to cool, then place in a resealable bag if you’re planning to eat within a week or so, otherwise you can vacuum seal batches of it and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
