Homemade Beef Jerky In A Dehydrator
  1. (Optional) Place beef in freezer for two hours. This will make it easier to slice thinly.

  2. Slice beef thinly against the grain. (approximately ⅛")

  3. Add all marinade ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine.

  4. Place sliced beef in ziplock plastic bag (gallon sized) and pour in marinade. Ensure it is evenly coating the meat and place in the refrigerator overnight.

  5. Remove beef slices from the bag and pat dry with paper towels (drying with a paper towel will speed cooking time). The excess marinade can be discarded.

  6. Lay the jerky strips a single layer on dehydrator trays and set your food dehydrator at 160 degrees. (this can be done on wire racks in the oven as well)

  7. Rotating racks each hour during the dehydration process, for 4 hours, or until the beef jerky is dry and cracks when you bend it.
