    I don't know how to spell connundrum, but I'm officially in one

    ditto on JimmyJ's advice. 45 years and counting and I finally got it through my head that there are only two rules for living with Eve's daughters. 1. If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. 2. See rule #1 for all other situations.  Just remember why you love her and make it better...

    Curing over a week?

    Better too long than too little time. If you mixed the brine / marinade according to the directions then the Nitrite concentration in the meat will reach equilibrium with the brine after x number of hours and stabilize there. Some friends of mine make Jerky for traveling. I asked them for their...

    Actually, I've er "sampled" both (when I got them, just to see how they taste [for scientific comparative purposes only of course]) and I can understand the little guys actions. It's good.

    Yeah, Stayhot I expect you're right. At least there's an electric outlet out on the front patio. Right now the bride has me focused on doing my Sched C so she can fill in the other forms for our friends at the IRS .  Yeah, I REALLY LOVE filling in Gov't forms. Oh, well. If mamma ain't happy....

    DirtSailor.... Right out of the dehydrator. Yeah! Excellent! Beef flavor with just a hint of Salt and Sweet. I see why you like this recipe, it came out excellent. (write up and Pics below) The only downside is that my wife really didn't like the smell from the Fish Sauce while it was curing...

    USDA Paleo Jerky (what our ancestors wanted to make)

    Interestilg. So the fully dry, as almost 0% water content was the old time preservation method. The "bends but don't break" standard is for modern eat off the shelf "truck stop" jerky. Eh? Makes sense. OBTW, do you ever make Pork jerky? I see more good sales for lean pork than for good lean beef.

    USDA Paleo Jerky (what our ancestors wanted to make)

    JJ An interesting perspective. Haven't heard that before; but it makes sense. The bend test seems to depend on "with the grain" cuts. Any idea why the coventional wisdom says cut across the grain?

    USDA Paleo Jerky (what our ancestors wanted to make)

    I re-hydrated the beef with a few spritzes of hot water so they are more like typical Jerky. I'm going to eat it; but it's not a recipe I want to repeat without some adjustment. First thing I noticed is that I used way too much salt. Probably the salt in the cure and the tenderizer would have...
