Restructured Jerky Question

[Miller]

When making restructured jerky do I need to use Smoked Meat Stabilizer or Encapsulated citric acid? Or, can I still use just curing salt and hold over night before I go to the smoker or dehydrator?

You should be able to hold overnight without using either. Be sure to use pink sure cure.

You can use encapsulated acid for tang and go right into the smoker, Smoked meat stabilizer, it has no tang taste, and go right to the smoker I believe (never used it,) or just pink cureing salt #1 and hold overnught.

Miller Yes if you want to smoke right away I would suggest using encapsulated citric acid or sodium erythorbate. If you aren’t really experienced with smoked meat stabilizer I would avoid it if you have access to the other two.
