Preparing Jerky Homemade jerky is relatively easy to prepare Slice flank steak, lengthwise with the grain, into very thin strips and spread onto racks before drying in the oven. Use a low oven temperature and cook until the jerky feels hard and is dry to the touch Jerky can be easily stored in plastic bags or in jars with tight-fitting covers 13
