Beef (ground) Jerky reicpe

4 lbs of lean ground (93/7) beef and added the following ingredients:

2/3 cup of Worcester sauce
2/3 cup of soy sauce
2 tsp of ground black pepper
2 tsp of garlic powder
2 tsp of onion powder
2 tsp of Liquid Smoke
4 tsp of curing salt (optional)

Mix all of the seasoning ingredients together in a measuring bowl and let them sit for a few minutes. Put the 4lbs of ground beef into a large glass mixing bowl and break it up. Add half of the seasonings to the meat and mixed it well, then add the remaining seasonings and mixed the meat again. Then fill your jerky gun (If you have one) with the ground beef mixture and extruded it onto the fine mesh sheets that came with your dehydrator.

Four pounds of ground beef will usually fill all six trays of a dehydrator and yield just over a single pound of dried jerky, or close to 40 full length strips.
