I have made a ton of beef jerky recipe out of all kinds of things. But the only stuff I get asked for is this stuff. Mix all spices with ground beef EXCEPT Worcestershire, liquid smoke and ketchup.

You need to really get your hands in to mix it well. Press into strips with a jerky gun. Mix Worcestershire, liquid smoke and ketchup in a shallow dish. Dry according to your dehydrator manufacturers instructions. Hot and spicy – mix Louisiana hot sauce with water to thin a bit. BBQ – thin your favorite bottled bbq sauce with water. Teriyaki – thin bottled teriyaki sauce with soya sauce.

Does this need to go in refrigerator for any specified time to cure before dehydrating? Do you marinate the mixture before you cut into strips? How long can you keep a batch? Like other reviewers, I have had the best results by mixing all ingredients into the meat rather than coating the strips. I have made this recipe 4 times now and we LOVE it. I cut the recipe in half to fill 4 trays.
