No worries, you can make this Keto Jerky in the oven. Heat the oven to 175° F and cover baking sheets with aluminum foil to catch any drips from the jerky. Place racks over the baking sheets and add the beef in single layers. Bake for 3-4 hours, flipping the jerky halfway, until the Low Carb Beef Jerky is firm and dry, yet still pliable.
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.
To get the best homemade beef jerky you'll ever eat all you need is a low in fat cut of meat and a can of your favorite Zevia. We went with the flavor of cola this time around, but we also think their cream soda and Dr Zevia would make great options for homemade jerky. The Zevia comes into play during the marinating process.
To turn these beef slices into jerky, you bake them for 3 hours at 225°F, then cool them for around 30 minutes on cooling racks. Slicing each meat strip lengthwise into a thinner strip is quite challenging unless your meat is partially frozen - then it's easy, as you can see in the video. That's why I use frozen meat when making this recipe.
