We have some marinating in the fridge, waiting to be dehydrated right now.. Whenever we butcher a cow, we have the butcher cut a few packs of jerkey meat for us. I have to ration it out....everyone down to the toddler loves the stuff.

We've cut our own meat before, too, but it's easier to have the butcher do it, since he's processing the whole cow for us, anyway. We just use the oven, on the lowest temp it'll go to. We drape the slices on the bars of the oven rack, and place lined pans underneath to catch the drippings. It takes about 8 hours, or so. We put the meat in before we go to bed, and it's ready in the morning.....talk about torture while you sleep, though. It smells so good all through the night!

It never lasts more than a week before we eat it all, if it even lasts that long. So, I don't know how long it would actually keep before going bad.....I guess I'm not very good at rationing

I used to make deer jerky with my dad every year! Great memories. He still makes large amounts of it every year.
We've done it many ways. Grill, dehydrator, oven, etc.
Slice it thin, spice it up, let it marinate in the fridge 24 hours (or overnight), and dry it as you wish. The past 10 years or so my dad has smoked his jerky on a wood pellet grill and it's the absolute best.

We used to make Jerky, but is has been so long now that I don't remember much...
I do remember using a meat slicer/tenderizer, and then putting them in the dehydrator. Afterwards we froze them to keep them fresh longer, and would grab out a bag as we wanted to use them.
(We still use the dehydrator to make fruit leather (aka fruit roll-up), but that is about it. :-)
