Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4-6 hours
Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef heart: Thinly sliced for even dehydration.
- Sea salt: To taste.
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Heart
- Start by cleaning the beef heart, removing any membranes, fat, or connective tissue.
- For easier slicing, slightly freeze the beef heart for about 30 minutes. This helps create thin, uniform slices.
- Season the Slices
- Generously sprinkle sea salt on both sides of the slices. Adjust to your taste preference.
- Dehydrate the Jerky
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the trays of your dehydrator. Avoid overlapping for even drying.
- Set the dehydrator to 150°F and let the slices dry for 4-6 hours, or until they are chewy and fully dehydrated.
- Store the Jerky
- Once completely cooled, transfer the jerky to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.
Pro Tip
- Slightly freezing the beef heart before slicing makes it easier to handle and ensures consistent thickness.
- If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can use an oven set to its lowest temperature, leaving the door slightly ajar for proper airflow.
