We discussed how we would make it at home with a dehydrator or a box with a lamp in it. An episode of Good Eats changed our perspective. By using a 20X20 box fan with about 4 slotted furnace filters you can dry the beef in half the time and preserve the flavor by avoiding cooking. This is perfectly safe because of the high salt content. http://www.grouprecipes.com/9323/sichuan-beef-jerky.html
