A little Jerky

Decide to try some Jerky today

Started out with a little Flank Steak trimmed up and sliced into strips





Assembled the marinade (basically BP's Video Jerky Recipe)



Everyone into the vac canister



Tumbled for 40 minutes



All done and ready to go



Onto the MAK warming box



4 hours later running @ around 160 (notice the shrink, seems like pieces are missing)



Ready to eat



I haven't had great success with my Jerky in the past but this came out awesome (it's already all gone) Using the marinade machine and with alot of help from this board I think I am getting it down.

Looks great Carter! Now I'm hungry, I should know better than to check new posts before bed!

Looks great

Hey not sounding like a Smart A$$ and i know you had them at 160 but play it safe Buddy and put some cure #1 with the marinade. Better to be safe than sorry.

Very good point nepas, Botulism is definitely buzz kill. I will add some next time and maybe run at a higher temp.

Great looking jerky Carter! Your marinade ingredients look like a nice flavor combination! Bet it was tasty.
