• Place the entire thing on a baking sheet, and dehydrate in the oven for 8 hours.
• Take out of the oven and tilt the baking sheet carefully over the sink to drain out any grease that seeped out.
• Break the beef into pieces along the previously scored lines, then place them in a single layer on a cooling rack on top of a fresh baking sheet.
• Place back in the oven for 4-5 more hours. There may be more drippings that fall into the baking sheet.
