Sale on London Broil for 2.79 a #, so I bought  a little over 10 pounds .I trimmed it up and lost 1 pound

 

The trim goes to the fox at work who loves snacks


Into the manual jerky slicer it goes for nice even cuts

 

Same recipe I always use and have posted on SMF previously.Here are the goodies dry and mixed.

 

Into the brine for a 24 hour stay with multiple stirrings .Removed and then air dried (ended up with nine trays) for an hour before putting in the smoker for a two hour smoke with hickory chips at 165*

 

 Removed when at the right texture after about 5-6 hours with a yield of 4.5 pounds of excellent munchies!

Al, Thanks sir, the slicer is a time saver
 
Looks great!

I have several LB in the freezer waiting to become jerky. May have to get them out and into my brine.

Point!
DS2003, The jerky from LB is great !
Looks great that slicer sure looks handy!
B. TY ,the jerky is good and it takes longer to clean the slicer (5 minutes) than it takes to slice up 10# of steak!
 
Very nice!

I, too, love that jerky slicer gadget.  Would've saved me a lot of work on the last batch I made!

I also like your fox!  Very cool to have one hanging around close-in.

And you made a good score on that London Broil at that price, too.

4.5# seems like a lot of jerky.  But it's surprising how quickly it goes away, isn't it?  :)
