Meat Jerky may be made from beef, venison, moose, elk, antelope and other game animals. The fat in
meat goes rancid and will spoil the jerky fast. When using beef, use only the leaner cuts such as the
round and chuck roast. Wild game animals are typically very lean, so this is less of a problem. Trim
off all of the fat and membrane that you can as you cut up the meat. When making jerky cleanliness
and sanitation are of utmost importance. Be sure all work surfaces, equipment and hands are thoroughly
clean.

Cut the meat into thin strips across the grain of the meat. The thinner the strips are, the quicker it will
dry. 1/4" thick and 6" long is about right. You will be able to cut the meat into slices easier if it is
partially frozen. Freeze, or thaw, the meat until the meat is just barely pliable and still cuttable.

Once you have the meat cut into strips the next step is to dry it. There are several methods you may use.

Lay the slices out in rows and in a single layer. Do not allow the pieces to touch. Sprinkle with coarse
ground black pepper and salt, garlic powder or spices that you like the taste of.

Do not place racks so that one layer can drip on another layer. If you are using the oven, set it to WARM
(120-170 deg. F.), and leave in the oven overnight, or 8-10 hrs. This ensures slow and complete drying.

To test for proper dryness bend the pieces. They should bend just slightly before they break.

Store in a cool, dry area in a sealed plastic container, jar, or can after well cooled. Too much moisture left
in the meat will cause mold, and putting it away while warm will cause sweating inside the container.
