Ingredients
Lean Beef
- 1 lb Lean ground beef 10% fat or less
Marinade
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder red
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- 2 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
- ¼ teaspoon curing salt optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the 1lb of ground beef with the other ingredients
- Mix the ground beef and seasonings thoroughly
- If using a jerky gun, load the gun with the ground beef mixture & shoot 4-5" long strips onto a dehydrator tray or on a baking sheet
- If not using a jerky gun, spread the ground meat on a baking sheet, cover with wax paper, and roll with a rolling pin until meat is ¼" thick
- Slice the pan of beef into jerky strips 4-5" long and 1" thick
- Dry with your favorite jerky making method. I used a dehydrator at 160F for 3 ½ hours
- Ground jerky is finished when it first starts becoming dry to the touch. It should bend without breaking in half. If it cracks in half when bent a little bit, it was over dried
Notes
- Ground jerky is going to have a different texture than whole muscle jerky, it will be more brittle.
- Using an oven and dehydrator are the best ways to make ground jerky
