science beef jerky

In science class we have been working on how to make beef jerky.

In class we have made beef jerky.

My one looks like it is going to full of the string.

This is the step of what i did.

 Ingredients and equipment

Salt,Meat,peg,somewhere to hang the meat and a knife.

1. Get all of the ingredients and equipment.
2. Cut the steak one cm thick.
3. Pinch a little bit of salt on one side of the meat.
4. Flip it around and then pinch a little bit of salt on that side.
5. Hang it up on a string line with a peg.
6. Wait 3 days.
7. Done!!!
8. Eat it.

Here is a image of the beef jerky that is ready for hanging.

Results: I saw meat that looked like a dark oak tree from minecraft, I heard a wet stick was broken,I felt like oily meat.

I did not want to eat it.

here is a photo of the beef jerky

Salt is the reason for the meat to dry out,the reason way is? 

Thick that is salt has a knife and cuts the cell wall and the salt is going to osmosis the water from the bacteria and it will die and that is how the meat can be dried and less can be  edible around a mouth.

My hypothesis of correct.
