Title: Jerky prep question..
Post by: Drury on November 29, 2011, 07:36:22 AM

I have a kiddo in braces and need the jerky not to be so tough and stringy. Can I cut it against the grain to make it more tender? Are there downsides to doing this?
TIA,
D

Cutting against the grain can make it less stringy.

Have you considered using ground meat rather than whole muscle? The ground meat will not be stringy at all and has an easier "chew" to it.

Good idea. Just ordered a LEM cannon and should be good to go. Thanks
