Slice and marinate beef and put it in the oven. 30 mins work for a pound of jerky

Which should cost much, much less

That’s not jerky. You’re just cooking it.
If you want to actually dehydrate it and make jerky, you would use the lowest temp your oven can go and let it go for 6-8 hours.

Obviously, you dehydrate it, maybe 30 degrees. I’m not making mini steaks, and i didnt write a receipe. 🤦🏼 Thats why i said 30 minutes of work

I’ve never done it but I do know you can technically make it by slicing up nice lean cuts of steak. Marinading them so they soak up the flavor. Then dangling them on the rack in the oven on the lowest heat setting with the door cracked open for a few hours. A friend of mine did this and they came out amazing with deer jerky.

Anyone reading this, please don’t do this if you want jerky…just buy a dehydrator, they’re cheap.
Then use eye of round or London broil cuts…most deli places will even cut them thin for you.

I want to buy a little tabletop meat slicer for the very reason. Wife bought a dehydrator because she wanted fruit leather (although I almost never get “leather”, instead becoming “chips”). I want homemade jerky.

Hit up used restaurant equipment stores or check on used marketplace. The good ones new are stupid expensive, but used they’re reasonably priced.

I mean, you can do it, but if you have steak that feels like jerky after 30 min in the over, you just likely just created overcooked steak.
Oven jerky takes many hours and you should occasionally open and remove the escaping moisture.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The issue with making jerky in the oven is the temps. 99% of the ovens can’t get below 200, where most dehydrators do 160 easily. But you are correct, you can do it in the oven, it’s just not recommended and it uses so much more energy.

You can fake it by setting your oven to the lowest temperature and leaving the oven door slightly cracked. I did it last winter with some flank steak and it turned out great.

Only 30min?
You sure you’re not just eating poorly cooked steak?
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They probably mean 30 min worth of prep. The oven part is hands off and whatever to them.
tflyghtz@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Youre the only person who gets the obvious
simplejack@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, most of the oven recipes I’m familiar with are several hours at fairly low heat. You’re trying to dehydrate the meat, not bake it.

Yeah… You might want a couple hours lol till it’s chewy but tender
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
important to note that you’ll probably want to crack the oven door open a bit, for which you might need something to keep it open, and dear god make sure everything in the path of the heat won’t burn. Ask me how i know!
Also works great for mushrooms, particularly because it slightly roasts them as well and that makes the flavour meatier and the texture when rehydrated chewier. Also also how the fuck did i never realize that you can do this with vegetables, i have to try that now!
