GREAT!!!! One tip, don’t store it in zip-lock bags if you want to keep it for any length of time (usually not a problem with me). They tend to hold moisture against the jerky. A tall resealable container is better since it lets air move around a bit in it.

Here’s a great technique without using a dehydrator (which cooks the meat a bit).

Do a search for “Alton Brown Jerky” for the best ever technique.

BTW, I want jerky now, and all I have is dog jerky (the cats like it)

Thanks for the tips! Like you, storing jerky for any length of time isn’t usually a problem with me—I can pretty much guarantee it’ll all be gone withing a week or so. Still, just to be safe I’ll move it to another container asap (and go search for Alton Brown’s technique for next time).
