PREPARATION METHOD
1. Have the meat sliced very thin by a butcher at time of purchase, rather than attempting it by hand.
2. In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well to combine. 3. Dip each piece of meat
individually into the bowl to ensure an even coating. 4. Allow to sit for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
5. When ready to cook, drain off excess marinade and lightly pat meat dry with a paper towel. 6. Lay
strips out at on the wire racks. The edges of the meat can touch, but the meat should not overlap or
be folded in any way. 7. Place the racks into the oven on positions 2 and 4. Place the solid pan on rack
position 1 to catch any drips. 8. Leave the door slightly ajar and select the Convection Mode set to
150°F. Dehydrate for 1 hour. 9. After an hour, ip over the meat and rotate the racks. 10. Continue to
cook until the meat develops a stiff, leathery texture. Thicker cuts of meat can take an additional 3-5
hours or longer to dehydrate. 11. Continue to ip and rotate the meat every 1-2 hours to ensure the
jerky has a uniform texture. 12. Cool and store in an airtight container.
The jerky can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

BEFORE YOU START
You will need both of the wire racks that came with your oven. It is also helpful to have the solid oven
pan to catch drips as you lay out the strips of meat across the racks. Surprisingly, you will also need a
colander to drain off the excess marinade. This provides a much cleaner way of handling the strips of
meat than removing them one at a time from the zip-top bag.
TERIYAKI
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon freshly grated garlic
(to replace garlic powder)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Korean chili paste
½ teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons preferred commercial
