Will my beef jerky be okay?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Im currentlly making beef jerky and I trimmed as much fat as i could, but there are still small lines of fat within the meat and Im wondering if my jerky will be okay anyway.

Sure, most will render out in the dehydrating process.

Yes it will be fine. Those little "lines" of fat are marbling--which make your meat tastier and tenderer. They are present in all meats to a certain extent--and as your jerky dries, they will provide some oils and fat that keep it from getting crispy.
