Ground Beef Jerky
1
Jason Allen
"Instead of a marinade or a dry rub the spice mixture is mixed in with the ground beef, making this jerky slightly different form its more expensive brothers."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Stir salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl; add ground beef and mix well.
- Pass beef mixture through a meat grinder set with the finest blade.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place wire-racks onto baking sheets.
- Place 1/2 ground beef mixture between two sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly roll beef mixture to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, invert beef mixture onto prepared baking sheet, and remove the bottom layer of plastic wrap. Repeat for remaining beef mixture.
- Bake beef mixture in the preheated oven with the oven door slightly ajar for 2 1/2 hours. Rotate the baking sheet. Bake until jerky is cooked through, another 3 hours. Remove jerky from oven and cut into strips while warm.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- If you don't have a meat grinder, use a food processor and pulse the beef with the spices in batches.

Made this using grass fed ground beef and it is very good. If you use kosher salt the amount listed on the recipe is perfect.

Great Recipe! This was my first time using ground meat and it took me a couple of slices to get used to the texture differences. I used my dehydrator and I let it dry a little longer than state...
