  • 1st Beef Jerky

    I have read and reread a lot of posts and information on making jerky......... so thought it about time for me to start.
    Marinated two small London broil steaks, since it was my first I thought I would start out easy, in Teriyaki sauce, cracked black pepper crushed red pepper and brown sugar. They marinated for about 16 hours.


    I froze them for about 45 minutes to make them easier to slice.





    Used a glass cutting board on top of the meat to get a better and more controlled slice......... worked out great. My Waring Pro (POS) slicer shit the bed so I had to hand slice.......... no problem with this little amount.



    and into the smoker.......



    Will add later once they are done, I think I had read one of Tom's post about using the paper clips........... yes I too boiled them first!

    And then elected not to use a cure?


    OK... I guess some folk don't, but I always do. An insurance policy if nothing else. The cutting board was a good idea- I have actually never used my slicer for jerky.

          Maybe no cure Rich, but he did boil his paper clips.

          Keep those temps around or above 150 and cook till completely dry and they should be good to go.

          London broil is the perfect jerky cut IMO.

                      The cure has two purposes. Yes...longevity...but how about the "danger zone" on the meat? How long in the smoker? at what temp? Was it "cooked"? If so...you can do that.
