re: Homemade Beef Jerky

If you don't want to buy a dehydrator you can just user the oven toothpick method. Marinate the slices cut really thin with the spices you want.

Then, hang the slices on the oven racks with toothpicks. Put a drip ban below.

Turn your oven on lowest temp before you go to bed at night. Use a spatula to prop the oven door open to allow moisture to escape.

This. But I won't mess up my oven racks by using them. And the drip pan is going to be very difficult to clean. Expect a 5:1 fresh meat to jerky ratio.
