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.
