Jerky Question

[begolf25]

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.
