500g beef fillet or sirloin, excess fat trimmed
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1. Place beef in a shallow glass dish. Pour over combined sauces and salt. Cover
with plastic wrap and place in the fridge, turning occasionally, for 12 hours to
marinade. Drain. Discard marinade.

Fish Jerky
2 cups water
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup salt
¼ cup soy sauce
4 fillets firm white fish or salmon, skin removed
2 teaspoons paprika, optional
1. Combine water, sugar, salt and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until
all sugar has dissolved. Set aside until room temperature.
2. Cut fish into 2cm thick strips. Place in cooled marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least
6 hours.
3. Set Dehydrator to 149°F.
4. Drain salmon. Lay salmon across the Dehydrator shelves in a single layer.
5. Place in Dehydrator. Leave for 8 hours. Store in airtight container in refrigerator
for up to 1 week.
TIP: Remember if you are using salmon or any other high fat fish, the shelf life will be
significantly reduced.
TIP
• Choose lean meat without much marbling (fat distributed throughout meat).
IMPORTANT: Meat must be of the highest quality and marinated on day of purchase.
• Marinate the meat in its whole form and slice after marin
ating. The marinade needs to be salty (see
Beef jerky recipe) as this helps draw moisture from the meat reducing the water content and making the
meat safe to consume.
