• Set your food dehydrator to 165°F (74°C).
• Place beef slices on dehydrator trays, first allowing any excess liquid to drip off the slices.
• Dry for 3 hours at 165°F (74°C) and blot away any fat juices from the slices.
• Dry an additional 3+ hours at 165°F (74°C) or until the beef jerky is leathery.
• Store in an airtight container with a food safe oxygen absorber for 1-2 months.
