  • 2 Pounds 90/10 Ground Beef or Sirloin
  • 2 Tablespoons Tata Rudy's Jerky Seasoning

  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder

  • 1 Tablespoon McCormick Cajun Seasoning
  • 1/8 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce

  1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl until fully blended, and there are no clumps of spices.
  2. Add the liquid ingredients and mix again until fully blended.
  3. Add the Ground Beef and mix by hand wearing food handling gloves for several minutes until the spice mixture and meat are fully combined.
  4. Load seasoned meat into your jerky gun, and dispense onto your dehydrator trays evenly, with about 1/8 in of space between the strips.
  5. Run the dehydrator at 165 degrees or on the jerky setting for 4 to 6 hours depending on your desired level of dryness.

Notes

This is a great tasting recipe, and you can modify the heat level to your own taste. If you are not a fan of spice, just drop the Jalapeno Powder from the recipe. If you want something a little more on the tame side, but with a little heat, then use half of the amount.
