Beef Jerky

This is a modification of my uncle Geno’s beef jerky recipe. Always a crowd favorite.

• 5 lb lean ground beef (90% or better)
• 2 tsp Accent (leave this out if you’re avoiding MSG)
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp ground marjoram
• 2 Tbs Kosher salt
• 2 Tbs liquid smoke
• 2 Tbs soy sauce
• 2 Tbs brown sugar
• 1 Tbs Worcestershire
• 2 Tbs red pepper flakes (optional, if you like it hot)

Mix together. Form into 1/8″ strips (I use a cookie press). Dehydrate for 10-12 hours.
