Marinade for Jerky

[Eye Slayer]

If you marinade jerky, do you still need to add cure to it before you dehydrate it?

This has been dabated in here before... I will not eat a jerky that has not been cured... I think your just asking for an excuse to get sick.

I'm with Deitz here. Any kind of smoked or jerked meat that is cooked at low temps needs a cure.

Botulisim, among other things is a real possibility.

Curing salt is cheap. I get my supplies online from Eldon's Meats. Nice little site, with lots of great sausage and jerky seasonings.
