Drying Jerky
Depending on the device you are using to dry your jerky and the thickness or cut of your meat, cooking times may vary. The key to getting great tasting jerky is to cook it slowly. However, the meat must reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees to ensure it is safe to eat.
Oven drying: Set the temperature on your oven so it maintains 160 degrees and let the meat cook 5 to 6 hours.
Smoker drying: Maintain 160 degrees and let the meat cook 5 to 6 hours.
Dehydrator drying: Set the temperature to 160 degrees and let the meat cook for 3 to 4 hours. Then the temperature may be reduced as low as 120 degrees for another 2 to 4 hours.
Testing for Dryness
One of the best tasting meats you will ever have will be a perfectly marinated, slow cooked, warm piece of jerky. As the drying process takes place, a certain amount of self-control will be required. It is true that the chef must “test” the product, but you will want to save some to share.
After a few hours of cooking, take out a sample piece and allow it to cool. Try to bend it in the middle. The piece should bend and crack but not break in half.
If your piece fails the dryness test, use it as a taste test or return it to cook a bit longer. Allow up to 2 additional hours of cook time if your sample piece fails the dryness test.
Many have a preference for tender jerky; the longer you dehydrate it the more brittle it becomes. When the test piece bends and cracks, but does not break, its finished.
