Safety Heating
10 min.Place the meat strips on a baking rack and heat in a preheated oven at 160 °C for 10 minutes to kill pathogens. Then pat dry.
Dehydrating
6-8 hoursDehydrate the meat strips at 70 °C. Check regularly after 5 hours: the jerky is done when it no longer feels moist when bent but does not yet break.
