Chef's Notes
Trimming every last trace of visible fat from the London broil is not optional unless you enjoy your jerky spoiling faster than milk in the midday sun. Fat does not dehydrate; it merely turns rancid in storage.
Pro Tip
Slice your beef slightly against the grain if you prefer a tender bite, or with the grain if you enjoy a tough, fibrous workout for your jaw muscles.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to remove all the fat means your delicious batch of homemade jerky will turn into a greasy, rancid science experiment sitting in your pantry within a week.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the jester bring a ruler to the kitchen? He wanted to make sure his jerky slices were perfectly uniform, or else the King would throw him in the dungeon for 'irregular snacking'.
The Culinary Science
Curing salts containing sodium nitrite inhibit the growth of deadly botulism spores while chemically binding to myoglobin, locking in that iconic reddish-pink cured meat color.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
