at home:
Trim off any excess fat and silverskin from beef.
Place beef in a zip-lock bag and freeze for about 2 hours until firmed up.
Remove meat from freezer and cut into 1/4”-1/8’’ (4-6mm) strips.
In a bowl combine all the ingredients for marinade.
Add the beef to marinade and stir well to coat each slice.
Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
Take meat out. Drain in a colander.
Place beef slices on dehydrator tray.
Dry at 160-165F/71-74C for 1 hour, then reduce temperature to 155F/68C and continue to dry until pliable, with no moisture pockets visible (about 4-6 hours).

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.
