Hey, this sounds really good.  And I guess I could still use the
gadget to make sticks out of this mixture, since they are
convenient to eat and store.  I'm curious, though.  When you
dehydrate this, does it "sweat" the olive oil out, or does the
oil stay impregnated into the meat?

By the way, I steeled myself and ate a couple of the dried jerky
sticks this morning.  They were *excellent* and I am still
feeling fine.  I used "Zeus, the King of all Seasonings", an
allegedly all-natural, no MSG seasoning.  It's a nice blend for
this purpose.
