Beef jerkey

8 lbs of London broil I found on sale. Really, any lean cut of beef will work.

My cooking buddy Moe loves the trimmings.

Step one is remove as much fat as possible and cut into manageable chunks. It helps to throw it in the freezer for an hour, it helps the meat stay firm while cutting.

Heavy breathing from the edge of the counter.

Step 2, slice into chunks cross grain.

Results of said cutting.

Add spices. Fresh ground pepper, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper mostly.

Piled together and massaged to set the dry rub. Due to a banana shortage I used a beer for scale.

Yes I drink Rolling Rock. It's my working beer because it still tastes like beer, but it doesn't get me drunk when I'm working.

It's also moe's favorite.

Step 3. Ziploc bags and a marinade.

I usually let it soak for 24 hours. Moe approves.

Step 4. Lay out on drying racks.

Step 5. Dry for 12 to 18 hours depending on thickness of the pieces.

Allow to cool and then bag it.

Cat tax.

Well holy shit. First time front page an I have no idea if I'm doing this edit thing right.

Thanks for the likes and positive comments, I was a long time lurker until Monday. I guess send me things?

Most viral? Nice! I'm glad people are enjoying Moe and my meat snack recipe! I guess I'll reiterate, send me stuff? Good looking women, animal selfies, and funny jokes are best.
