  • Heat olive oil in a pan and add the garlic, roasting until it becomes fragrant.  Add the buffalo and herbs.  Toss to coat with a spatula.
  • Cook the buffalo over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until it is browned well.Your dog will probably be going crazy at this point wanting a little snack while you are preparing the jerky.
  • Lay the strips of meat on the wire rack of the roast pan. It is important to use a wire rack so air can circulate around each strip.  Do not crowd them but space evenly allowing a little space between each strip.
  • Bake for 3 1/2 hours or until strips are dry but not brittle. There should still be a little chewiness and you should be able to tear the strip as opposed to it just breaking.
  • Allow the jerky to cool and place in an airtight container or ziplock bag.  Your dog will be so happy to get this special treat and will thank you for taking the time to make jerky at home.Paws up for homemade jerky!
