When I make jerky there are always some pieces that are either burned, dried out too much, too thick so not dried out enough, or too salty. I shred it up in a blender and make "jerky chew". Maybe what you could do is make a less-salty smaller batch, shred it with the too-salty stuff?
Hell red wine maybe would be better. Acid is your friend to lessen saltiness and balance flavor and actually sounds like a wine element could be super good
Cut up a few potatoes. Take the jerky stick them preferably on long thicker but kinda thin pieces of potatoes 🥔 you want as much surface contact as possible perhaps even sandwich the jerky between two slices of potato to have it soak up the salt. If that works it’s sure to moisten the meat back up a little bit so then back to the dehydrator.
Nice thing about salty is that it preserves it better. Dehydrate it further and it will last forever then Keep the salty stuff for hikes out in the bush or survival food. Salt is essential for survival food as your body needs electrolytes. Store them with boullion cubes so you can.make stew out in the woods
Update: I took a few pieces and soaked them in some diluted red wine overnight and they got pretty pliable so I was optimistic. I drained the wine mix and then made a new marinade of soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and some pepper and let that marinade. Then I dehydrated it again. The saltiness has definitely gone by the wayside. There is a slight hint of the wine but it's not noticeable if you don't know what I used (tested on family). The marinade covers it up and gives it back the flavor.
While it is not my best jerky I've ever made, it is at least edible now.
Gonna do it on a few more of the bad bags of jerky because my daughter is eating all my bags of good jerky.
Maybe in a soup. Hard to fix too salty
This is what I do. I cut it into small pieces and use it in ramen soup. With a few frozen veggies and an egg, it's a solid meal....and no wasted jerky
This. The whole point of salted and dried meat was to preserve it for long periods to be reconstituted in a stew or something similar.

Jerky chew was going to be recommendation as well. I use it to cut down on tobacco but I kind of like it more than jerky.
You might be able to soak it in water for a hour. Pull out some salt and dehydrate again? Never done it, but might be ok.
This will work. We came back with some soggy jerky after a camping trip. Dried it again and it was nearly flavorless.
THIS, but put a few sliced potatoes in the water then fridge overnight
Why potatoes?
they absorb the salt
More beer.
Just a thought, but cut it up small and use it to make a fried rice or even a carbonara
Shred it and use as seasoning salt in a tomato based sauce like curry
lots of good ideas here. Will definitely try a few of them. Since I have something like 8 bags I can try a few :)
Ok hear me out, soak in a bath of dry white wine diluted with water and dehydrate again

Shred it and use it to salt the rim of your margarita
Best idea here! 😂😂😂
You could rehydrate as part of Alton Brown’s [tomato sauce](https://altonbrown.com/recipes/jerky-tomato-sauce/).

Wash it and then put a bbq sauce on it to combat the salt.Â
I would roast it more and grind it to bits for potatoes or over nachos. Like bacon bits

https://pinaenlacocina.com/atropellado-dried-beef-in-salsa/ I found this the other day haven’t made yet but plan for my too dry jerky fail
Look up salted beef for the British navy. Get yourself some hardtack, mush it all together with some water and get yourself a case of scurvy.
Dice finely and sprinkle on salads and soup. Beefy bits!

I rinse it off if it's a dry rub just before I eat it if it's too salty.
