Last Thursday night I cut up some London Broil and vacuum sealed it after mixing it with some Hi Mountain Jerky Seasoning and Cure.
I was able to smoke most of the jerky Sunday but I still have a batch I wasn't able to get to. My question is, will this still be ok to smoke? Will it be a problem since it has been sealed in the seasoning and cure mix for a week?
Still a jerky novice and don't want to get anyone sick.
Thanks,
Bryan

It might be a little saltier than you like, but it should be fine.
I forgot some in the fridge for (at least) a week and it was fine. With the amount of salt and cure you have added, you have a microbial wasteland - nothing should grow for a while, especially since you removed most of the air as well.
I agree, it should be fine, maybe a little stronger flavors and salt. But jerky is supposed to be salty. I would not be afraid to use it.
Thanks guys! Into the smoker it will go tomorrow.
