• Store the marinated meat in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Drain well.
• The meat needs to be sliced thinly and each slice needs to be of equal thickness, preferably 5mm. You
can achieve this with a deli-style meat slicer.
• Sometimes partially freezing the meat first, and then slicing it makes slicing easier.
Then thaw meat before arranging on trays to dry.
Always slice the meat across the grain. Meat sliced with the grain falls apart and can have a chewy
texture.
• Dehydrated meat needs to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to
3-4 weeks. If wanting to store for a longer period, label, date and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in
fridge overnight.
• Once the drying time is complete, cool beef to room temperature and pat surface
dry with a paper towel to remove any excess surface moisture and ensure
keeping times are safe.
IMPORTANT: Meat must be stored in the fridge or freezer only. Storing meat at room
temperature could promote the growth of bacteria if not dried thoroughly.
