  • Ground Beef Jerky- Gun Style

    Well, started curing my ground beef jerky for tomorrow. Here's the recipe I used, and will be pics along the way, meaning in the morning.. First, bought some non stick cooling racks, rated to be ok in the oven up to 300 degrees. Cut them down with snips and a saw so they fit perfectly in the MES.

    Bought 3 lbs of 90-10 ground beef. Added 4.5 TSP of tender quick to the below recipe to cure. Haven't decided how I'm going to make the jerky (strips or sticks)... It's gonna have some heat though!!


    3/4 C Franks Red Hot - I've read that for ground beef, you do not want to add more than 1/4 C per lb of liquid.
    3 T Onion Powder
    4 T Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
    2 T CBP
    4 T Garlic Powder
    2 T Smitty's
    1/4 C of Compact Brown Sugar
    4 T of Bovine Bold



    Don't have a clue how this will taste, as it's totally a fly by the seat of my pants recipe. Should be interesting!!

      Love me some spicy sticks though. Will most likely go that route! Get to play with my AMPS and me jerky gun tomorrow. FUN! I was thinking about 3-4 hours at 130 to dry them out, then bump to 160 with smoke for the rest of the time. Thoughts?

                  Welp, I'm pissed. Took the Weston Jerky gun out of the package and the trigger is faulty. Gotta send it back through Amazon.com. Gonna have to go find another jerky gun today before I can start to make this stuff. SIGH!

                      Or do like the boys and I did before we got a shooter. Roll into balls, flatten between saran wrap and make discs. Works just as well.
