I purchased a decent piece of London broil and am looking for a dry brine/cure recipe. I would like a pre mixed, seasoning/cure but a good do it yourself recipe would be great as well. I have pink salt and some seasonings in my pantry.
OR, would a wet brine/cure be better? I'm on the fence here and would appreciate any and all opinions and suggestions. I have lately done ground beef jerky with decent results but would like to step it up.

Thanks to all in advance for any and all input.
 
I've used PS Seasoning's jerky seasoning for the most part. Never been disappointed. My first few batches were with LEM's Backwoods that I got at Academy Sports and some from Owen's BBQ. All were good. I may be wrong but it seemed like PS probably made both. Instructions were verbatim the same and so were the results.
Following the instructions they all give are not what I would call a dry brine like I use for bacons. More of a wet slurry that the meat gets mixed with and almost all of the wet is absorbed overnight.
 
Since you have Cure #1, I'd make your own. Do a quick search on here. Maybe try this one:

Yep, I use a marinade that contains cure #1. Many different ways to go on that.
I've tried several of High Mountain's products, and they are too salty for my taste.
