Jerky is dried meat. You just cut thin slices of meat then season it and dry it. You can buy beef jerky here. Sometimes its seasoned with hot pepper or teryaki flavor. I especially like jerky made from deer meat or elk meat. Home made jerky is much better than what you buy in the store (IMHO). My son makes it all the time in our dehydrator. My brother who hunts alot makes it from wild game and dries it outside. Try it you'll like it!
