Finishing the Jerky Today

Good looking jerky Fritz!

Not sure if I did the multi quote thing right?

Had the butcher in my area slice it once for me, they did not charge but did a very bad job. I need a slicer...

I know tradition is to cut with the grain but with this cut of meat it I haven't found a big difference...I cut across the grain.

The stuff I put in the jar is for eating right away, no vacuum. Not sure about the shelf life at room temp, I do add a cure to the marinade for safety, vac seal anything I may have left and put it in the fridge.

I am a cross the grain type too, but, you know, as long as he keeps it all lean and gets the slices all the same thickness(3/16 to 1/4), it seems to all taste great and have similar texture even if the grain is fuzzy here and there:-)

I'm getting hungry-- chef salad didn't do it for me!
