show more I am looking to make beef jerky at home but am a bit confused on how long to keep it in the dehydrator. My dehydrator works at about 140 degrees. I read somewhere to keep it in for 20-24 hours but when i tried that it was way too overdried. How can you tell when it is done? even after that much time it seemed somewhat moist when i removed it. Obviously after it was out for a bit it had become pretty brittle.
The salt not only gives the meat its flavor but also prevents the meat from going bad for months. During the dehydration process, beef jerky is stripped of most of its fat, and bacteria are eliminated from the meat. Beef jerky has been receiving some light praise lately because of its high protein and low fat content. When the water content is removed from the beef during the dehydration process, its protein content usually doubles. One ounce of beef jerky usually contains around 9 grams of protein, depending on the brand.
