  How to make dried Meat 

  1.Dried meat at home
  When making dried meat at home, fresh beef is the best choice because of its fiber, which is easy to cut and dry, making it easier to make. The fibrous tissue of pork and chicken is not as dense as that of beef and tends to break during preparation.
After determining the meat quality, the steps are as follows:
(1)Slice the meat. Using a sharp kitchen knife, slice the meat into 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3.175 to 6.35 mm) thick strips. The thinner the tape, the faster it dries.
(2)Mix all the seasonings. Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and ginger in a 1-gallon (4-liter) resealable plastic bag and mix well. Add the seasonings, close the bag and shake gently.
(3)Put the meat in the marinade. Put the shredded meat in the bag for 20 minutes to absorb the flavor. Seal the bag and shake gently to make sure each piece of meat is in contact with the marinade. Then put the bag in the refrigerator.
(4)Give the meat a quick roast. Once the meat is removed from the marinade, place the strips on the prepared baking paper and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove from oven immediately when the meat reaches 165°F(75°C).
(5)Meanwhile, preheat the dryer. Preheat the dryer to 145°F(63°C). The dryer takes about 10 minutes to heat up, so you'll need to preheat the meat before roasting.
(6)Put the strips of meat on the dryer tray. After the meat is removed from the oven, spread the shredded meat flat on a baking tray. When you're done, put the pan in the dryer.
(7)Let dry for 5 to 7 hours. Check beef jerky after 5 hours. It should be completely dry when finished. If it is not completely dry at the time of inspection, continue to dry for 2 hours and check every 30 minutes during this period.
