Instructions

1. Slice meat with the grain into 1/8 inch to 1/16 inch strips as long as you prefer. Cut off all fat.
2. Soak meat in the sauce. Meat will absorb the sauce and take on the coloring of the sauce. Continue making sauce until all the meat being used has taken on the color of the sauce.
3. Soak in sauce for 8-12 hours.
4. Lay the jerky on the dehydrator or turn oven on to 150-160 degrees. Jerky will be done in the oven in 3-4 hours and 6-8 hours in the dehydrator.
