State dinners often consist of, but are not limited to, black tie or white tie dress, military honor guards, a four or five course meal, musical entertainment, dancing, and speeches made on behalf of the head of state hosting the state dinner as well as the foreign head of state.
Jerky is lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, cut into strips, and then dried to prevent spoilage. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt, to prevent bacteria from developing on the meat before sufficient moisture has been removed.
In Emerilâs simple jerky recipe from the Food network, raw meat is seasoned and cooked in a 200Â°F oven for 6 to 8 hours. Of course, this particular recipe calls for his signature Creole-inspired spice mixture, but you could certainly experiment with using your own fave rubs and spice blends in this formula.
