    One ounce of pure fat is 220 calories and this recipe has very little fat so I think the backpacking menu that has a one ounce Smoky Beer Beef Jerky bar at 257 calories might be an error though I would love to get 257 calories in a 1.1 oz bar I don’t think this recipe manages that.

      Fat couldn’t be dehydrated, that’s why for jerky we use lean beef. And this is not a bar. Just plain beef

    For Beef Jerky is that 257 calories for 6 servings or one serving?

    So the meat is never actually cooked in an oven or pan? The only heat added is in the dehydrator?

      Yep! But you should be 100% sure in quality of meat. Some sorts and pork and game can not be dried raw.
