• 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.
