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...
Equipment:
I purchased a few new toys for marinating and slicing based on some of the suggestions that you guys gave me.
Cutting guides:
I found these at the local Ace Hardware, 1/4" square and 3/8" x 5/16" rectangular brass tube. Ends wrapped with High temp electrical tape. Edges and...
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.

Makes sense.
OBTW, do you ever make Pork jerky? I see more good sales for lean pork than for good lean beef.

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?
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...
