Before using your OSTER™ Jerky Seasonings
Follow these safety rules when dehydrating foods:
•Wash hands thoroughly prior to handling food.
•Clean all utensils and containers with a mild solution of detergent, bleach and water before using.
•Make sure all counter surfaces and cutting boards are thoroughly cleaned.
•Always keep meat in refrigerator before preparing for drying.
•Store dried jerky in refrigerator or freezer to prolong its shelf life.
Using Your Oster™ Jerky Seasonings to Make Jerky
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.
Most lean meats will yield about 1 pound of jerky from every 2 pounds of fresh meat.
For Ground Meats:
•Add both the spice mix and the cure mix of one Oster™ Jerky Seasonings 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.
For Meats that are not 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.
•Mix Oster™ Jerky Seasonings and 1/4 cup water well and put mix and meat in plastic storage bag to marinate for 6 to 8 hours in the refrigerator before drying.
Helpful Hints
•Do not overlap strips on dehydrator 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.
•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.
•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.
•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.
