One of my favorite foods to make in my dehydrator is beef jerky, I don't make it as much as I would like though, because I have this uncontrollable impulse to sit down and eat it right after I make it. I do squirrel some away for storage but most of it gets eaten a small bit at a time as I walk through the kitchen...
It's a pretty simple process -- select meat, trim, cut and season it, dry it, and store or eat it. Historically almost every culture has done it for food storage, and it remains a popular activity among outdoorsmen.
I like using sirloin, but any lean roast will do -- You do not want a lot of fat, as that contributes to spoilage, so you also have to trim any fat you find.
(Here's a tip for those that like jerky, but don't want to spend a lot on meat, or don't like slicing it. You can use prepackaged "steak-ums" or any discount Philly cheese steak sliced meat.) I have gotten them in bulk at the big box grocer for around $1 a box on occasion.
