Make Beef Jerky!
Nesco Easy Beef Jerky 
 Quick and Easy Beef Jerky 

To make Beef Jerky using ground meat and Nesco/American Harvest jerky seasonings

1 pound lean ground beef (ground chuck, ground round, etc.) 
1 packet Nesco/American Harvest jerky spice mix
1 packet Nesco/American Harvest jerky cure mix 

Mix meat, spice and cure together thoroughly in a bowl. Form into 1/4" thick strips using the Nesco/American Harvest Jerky Works Kit, or by rolling between sheets of wax paper. Place meat strips on your American Harvest dehydrator trays, and dry at your dehydrator's highest temperature setting (if it's adjustable) for 5-8 hours, or until done to your liking. This should make 2-3 trays of jerky, or about 1/2 pound, when dried. Double the recipe for more jerky. Add a couple sprinkles of cayenne pepper if you like it spicy. 

Jerky Marinade 
 4 TB soy sauce 
4 TB Worcestershire sauce 
1 TB tomato sauce 
1 TB grated ginger root (optional) 
1/2 tsp black pepper (more pepper for hotter jerky) 
1 TB curry powder (optional) 
2 cloves garlic 
1 packet Nesco/American Harvest jerky cure mix 

Marinate the meat for 4 to 6 hours, then drain. Place on trays to dry. Dry in your Nesco/American Harvest Food Dehydrator until properly dried and chewy, normally 6-12 hours. 

NOTE: Use this recipe on beef, venison, or other game meats. Please note that all wild game meat should be frozen for 60 days a sub-zero temperatures to make certain all bacteria is killed.

For longer time, place in the refrigerator in a covered container or an air-tight plastic bag. Remove from marinade and place in your dehydrator until dry.
