All you need is an oven! I love making low-carb jerky because it's a fantastic travel-friendly snack — it lasts for months without refrigeration. Dehydration (removing water from food) helps preserve it, and using salt adds another level of protection.
Alton Brown's homemade beef jerky strips from Good Eats bring smoky, sweet and pepper flavors to the traditional dehydrated meat snack. Spice, sugar, and smoke meet brined and dried beef in this DIY jerky recipe.
Dry in oven until beef becomes dry and leathery, 3-4 hours, rotating pans occasionally. (Or use a commercial dehydrator or smoker, following manufacturer's directions.) Remove from oven; cool completely. Using paper towels, blot any beads of oil on jerky. Store jerky, covered, in refrigerator or freezer.
