Marinated Jerky | Commercial Dehydrators

This lightly seasoned jerky is a great introduction to dehydrated meats. This recipe calls for the meat to be brined, which means the meat is soaked in a salt/sugar solution to tenderize it prior to cooking or dehydrating. It is preferable to freeze the meat before slicing.

Dehydrated Meats

Spicy Ginger Jerky | Commercial Dehydrators

I love using this marinade with flank steak but it also works with pork and fish. Grinding the meat will give the jerky a different textureless tough and easier to chew. You'll need a jerky gun for this. It works much like a pastry bag (which you can use instead), in that you fill it with the ground meat mixture and can then squeeze it out into thin strips or sticks in a uniform manner, making a more attractive jerky stick.
