Ingredients
- 1 lb beef liver
Instructions
Oven Method (Low & Slow Baking)
- Rinse and pat the liver dry. Slice it into thin strips (about ¼ inch thick). Freezing for 30 minutes beforehand makes slicing easier.
- Set your oven to 170°F (or the lowest setting).
- Place the liver strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 3 to 4 hours.
- Flip halfway through until fully dried with a chewy jerky texture.
- Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Dehydrator Method
- Slice the liver into thin, uniform strips.
- Lay the liver strips on dehydrator trays in a single layer.
- Dehydrate at 130-140°F for 6-8 hours (depending on thickness).
- The jerky should be firm and dry, not sticky.
- Let cool before storing in an airtight container.
Air Fryer Method
- Slice the liver into thin strips.
- Set to 160-170°F (or the lowest setting).
- Place liver strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Flip every 30 minutes until fully dried. If your air fryer doesn’t go that low, cook at 200°F for 1-2 hours, checking frequently.
- Let cool before storing.
