Beef Jerky

Kozlov M asked:

I am trying to make beef jerky for the first time. Does anyone know whether kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce is good to marinade the beef jerky. I picked up the kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce and liquid smoke at the store. Would it work? ANd how much liquid smoke do I need to put in?

HEY HOW ARE YA asked:

Last night on good eats alton made Beef jerky I have a few questions if you can answer them?
Ok here is what he did…
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Special Equipment: 1 box fan, 4 paper air-conditioning filters, and 2 bungee cords

Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours in order to firm up.
Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips.

Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours.

Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8 to 12 hours

Im thinking WHAT! it was’nt cooked at all he even ate a piece before it was dried how is this safe is it safe?
