Ground Beef Jerky

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds of lean ground beef (85/15, 90/10/ 96/4 all work)
1/2 cup coconut aminos, if you do not want to buy coconut aminos-this recipe works well as a substitute (http://theclothesmakethegirl.com/2014/03/01/substitute-soy-sauce-coconut-aminos/)
2 table spoons of liquid smoke
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp  Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions:
Place ground beef in a mixing bowl
Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl

Use your hands to mix the ingredients into the ground beef
Place the mixed ground beef into a zip lock bag and place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. This will allow the seasoning to flavor the beef.

Place beef into a jerky gun. Using the gun make stripes of jerky onto each tray of the dehydrator

Once all the beef is placed on trays in the dehydrator, set the temperature to 160 for 4-6 hours.

I store mine in zip lock bags in the fridge, it lasts about one month. Although, it seems to never make it a week in our house.

****If you do not have a jerky gun: Place parchment paper on a hard surface and then place some the beef mixture on top. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top of the ground beef. Using a glass or rolling pin, roll the ground beef flat to about ¼ of an inch. Remove the top layer of parchment paper, and use a knife to cut small stripes of jerky.

****If you do not have a dehydrator: Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil, then place a cookie rack or raise rack over the cookie sheet. Set your stripes of beef on the rack and place in oven for 3-4 hours. It may help to place a towel between the oven and oven door while the ground beef is cooking.
