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.
I found jerky making in the oven to be very easy and pretty fast. When your meat is semi frozen slice it as thin as you can with a knife or about an eigth inch on a slicer. Dump it into a container and dose with soy sauce, garlic salt, and hot suace. Just guess at what will taste good for the first batch. This is so easy that you will make it again and adjust the recipe.
