In the Beef Section, there is a post about Beef Jerky on the WSM started by Stogie (Kevin Taylor). I have two questions about that beef jerky.
1. TenderQuik (TQ) is used in that recipe but he does not mention rinsing the meat after removing it from the TQ solution. I do rinse pork bellies after them being in TQ. What do you think about rinsing (and drying) the beef before smoking to make jerky?
I'm going to be smoking this on Tues. or Wed.
2. Once the jerky is finished, and portions vacuum sealed, how long would the vacuum sealed packs keep, and would/should they be refrigerated if unopened?
Thanks.
