If making jerky from meat that has not been ground, remove all fat and cut into
cubes or thin strips 1/4” to 3/8” thick. It is easier to slice partially frozen meat
for jerky. If meats are cut on the cross-wise grain, jerky is less chewy than if
meats are cut on the lengthwise grain. Marinate cut meats in store-bought
or your own recipe marinade for 6 to 8 hours in the refrigerator before drying.
If you are using your own recipe, be sure to include 1 teaspoon of salt for each
pound of meat. The salt slows surface bacterial growth during the initial stages
of drying. To use Oster™ Jerky Seasonings, add 1/4 cup water, mix well and put
mix and meat in plastic storage bag to marinate.

Add both the spice mix and the cure mix of one packet to one pound extra •
lean ground beef, game, or poultry. For spicier jerky: add 1/4 tsp. or more
of cayenne pepper. For less spicy jerky, add 1/2 pound extra meat.
While holding the plunger release button down, pull the plunger all the way •
out of the chamber.
Unscrew the threaded cap from the end of the chamber. Place meat mixture •
into the chamber.
Place desired tip into the threaded cap and screw the cap tightly back onto •
the chamber.
Press the Plunger Handle forward until the Plunger Disk rests against the meat. •
Hold the Jerky Press over Oster•
™
Dehydrator Tray and squeeze the trigger
repeatedly to release strip onto the tray. When desired length is reached, cut
end with scissors or knife.
Do not overlap strips on trays. Leave room between strips for air flow.•
Dry jerky until it has a tough “leather” texture, but is not brittle. Do not •
interrupt drying process or meat may spoil. For best results, rotate trays from
top to bottom during the drying process.
NOTE: Depending on the thickness of the jerky strips, how much jerky is layered
in the dehydrator and the humidity, it will take from 4 to 10 hours to dry. Pat
jerky with clean paper towels several times as it dries to remove the oil which
accumulates on the top of the jerky.
NOTE: After drying poultry, pork or fresh game, heat them in your oven at
160°F (71°C) for 30 minutes to avoid the risk of salmonella.
Wrap jerky in paper towels and let it stand for a couple of hours prior to •
packaging.
NOTE: Beef jerky that is stored on the shelf will start to go rancid at room
temperature after 3 or 4 weeks. Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.

Most lean meats will yield about 1 pound of jerky from every 2 pounds of
fresh meat.
Jerky may be made from a variety of different meats. When selecting meats for
making jerky, choose lean meats with minimal fat, as fat tends to go rancid
during storage. A lean flank steak or round steak makes excellent jerky.
