Well, I'm no paleo-chef, but jerky is simple. Just cut into thin strips and
dry at room temperature (or the lowest setting of your dehydrator). No
salt, spices, marination, are needed at alI. I like brisket best. It
usually has a nice line of surface fat, and sliced across the grain it can
make a long "baconlike" strip of jerky.
Many will tell you that the fat will go rancid, but I find it doesn't
happen for a while (several weeks) if it is stored in the fridge. The more
naturally fed the cow, the better the fat ages I find. Another method would
be to use very lean meat (like eye of round) and eat the resulting jerky
along with fresh bone marrow...
Anyway, this will leave you with a very unprocessed jerky, which seems
pretty paleo to me ;)
Cheers,
