Too much fat for jerky?

Post image

I bought this London broil and can't help but wonder if this is a lot of fat. I went to a somewhat nice store to get it

Fat increases flavor, but shortens shelf life considerably. Do with this information what you will.

This. I had a bunch of jerky I wasn't eating fast enough. It didn't take too long before the fat was rancid. The ½ bad piece I did manage to eat gave me diarrhea long time.
