Raw Pack Beef

Because the meat in my stew was a tad skimpy, I thought I might as well have some pints of plain beef on hand as well. 7 pints of beef! :)

1 lb cubed beef (we cut it pretty small and got just a bit under a pound in each pint jar.)
1/2 tbsp montreal steak seasoning (could use boullion, too)

Processing at 10 lbs for 75 mins.

Reactions to first batch: I think we packed them a little full again, I had a bit of juice escape. There are some references online that say it wasn't the packing, but the cooling...will make sure to be patient before I pull the weight off! All seems solid and sealed, though.

2nd batch: Yup, it seems that it was my impatience that was causing the loss of broth, and probably not the lack of headspace. This will all go much quicker when I have more than one canner going!
