1 In a bowl, combine all ingredients and really rub the dry ingredients into the grain of the meat; really get it worked in Cover and marinate overnight. Enough rub for 2 lbs of meat strips. If using ground meat - mix with 1 lb of ground beef or turkey. 2 If you have a dehydrator, by all means use it. 3 My oven method: Place aluminum foil on oven rack. 4 Preheat oven to 170 degrees F (that's as low as my oven will go--). 5 Put meat on baking racks then set on the foiled oven rack to dry. 6 Prop the oven door open with an oven mitt to allow moisture to escape. 7 In my oven, it takes about 7 hours for complete drying; slightly less if you use very thin slices (mine are about 1/4 inch thick).
