Ground Beef Jerky!

[@ChelseaBreyann]

When I was a kid my dad started dehydrating mostly ground beef jerky and came up with some AMAZING flavors then would air seal them in bags and sell them. I'm not a red meat eater unless it's that or homemade all beef meatballs. The ground beef for sure makes it so much more tender and flavorful! I use to always help him make it but he passed away in 2014 so I've only made it one time since he passed but tonight it was on my mind and my mom still has the dehydrator and meat gun around so I will definitely be making some this weekend! Thanks for the video even though I don't have a smoker. They look delicious! God Bless!

[@mikehaines5467]

For the rolling the meat --- lay down 2 wooden chopsticks so you get an even thickness with the rolling pin

[@ymurraymiller5788]

Tried your recipe with a few alterations, followed your base recipe except I used maple syrup for sugar and Lemon pepper rub for the Kosher salt and black pepper amounts, added 2 tsp of mustard seed for the mouth feel, plus 1 tsp of celery seeds. Turned out awesome and I agree don"t be shy of adding a little more heat. Love your video and will continue to follow, excellent quality by the way. Continued sucess!!

[@tamikomick]

I just made a batch of this for my daughter's softball team. They all raved about it. We have a jerky gun but decided to try the rolling pin method . I made bite size pieces and it worked great.

[@papassmokehouse549]

I do basically the same thing but add #1 cure to the mix for safety and stability

[@trentcecrle73]

Can't wait to try your recipe. Also paint stir sticks on each side makes it easy to roll consistent thickness jerky. Smaller amounts at a time, normally about the size of a golf ball.

[@MattLoC84]

I love that you give us the recipes with and without buying your rubs. I understand everyone wants to make their money, but getting a recipe where they just say "use our rub" and don't tell us how to substitute is frustrating when you are trying to throw something together quickly and don't have time to wait for rub to be delivered. In fact, NOT being like that makes me MORE likely to buy your rubs because I want to support what you do! Thank you so much for so many great recipes!

[@davidbuben3262]

Amen. Same here. I always buy gadgets I'm going to get anyway, through a channel I support.....I ordered the cannon. 🙂

You should do a teriyaki version of this with ground beef

[@whiteynut]

I've made that for years in the oven, usually use wild game too.

Looks/sounds great! I've used ground beef with a jerky gun on the dehydrator and it's always awesome. I need to try it on the smoker some time.

Hey Grill Hey, love the name. New subscriber, and I hit the notifications bell. When I'm in the mood, I grind my own burger meat. Lots of different recipes using wild game, beef, etc. And often make jerky. I just now decided to find a recipe for making jerky from burger meat. You were the first one on the list after Googleing. I'm really glad I found you! Thanks. I ordered the cannon through your channel but am going to use the rolling pin method this weekend. To you the best from the Pacific Northwest.

[@HarryPotter-dg5qw]

Hey. Great Video! Thanks so much. Haven’t had tried your rubs yet. But used your link for the Canon. 👍🏼

[@jannellmeagher638]

I use 1/8" guides on the end of my rolling pin. Amazon. I also chop finely veggies like spinach into the ground beef, Bison or turkey and make it for my dogs. Just dry in dehydrator 5hrs 165°F. I make it for training treats only. No bendy meat. My dogs are raw fed, too.

[@mm2_Arya]

I have a freezer full of elk burger, I think I might try this!

[@ColinHillier71]

How would I add a curing salt to this recipe? And would it add much shelf life to the Jerky? Thanks for all your recipes :)

[@ak3ldama]

Old reply but for any who may benefit get the “Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing Book.” Covers jerky and all the typical info on safety and smoking and things like this. Has jerky recipes.

[@cryptotradingsystem]

Thank you for sharing. May I ask you? Please. How much is the thickness of the jerky when using the jerky gun?

[@Heygrillhey]

About 1/8 of an inch or so.

[@cryptotradingsystem]

Thank you.🙂

[@ruggend]

Looks great! Do you need to change the recipe if using curing salt? Less regular salt?

[@Heygrillhey]

Yes. You can find more info about curing salts in the jerky recipes on my website!

@@Heygrillhey Thank you. I just received some of the beef rub in the mail, so very excited to try the recipe!

Thanks for the vid! You mentioned low and slow, but is there a target number to try and hit for the temperature(sorry, unless I missed it). I'm using an offset with a thermometer.

Think you could do a biltong flavor with red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, coriander, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes with the jerky gun? Could be interesting...

[@douglas939]

Great stuff!

[@mopar3845]

I just made this the other day, however I did 1.5 tablespoons of red pepper flakes and it's perfect! I'm thinking I will do 2 this next batch just to spice it up a little more! Also I only did half the recommended worshceshdkeichrshire sauce lol.

I've made it this way for years, always been my girls favorite. I left it as a sheet, smoked it, and just cut it into strips with scissors after.

[@LFGVBE]

Great video, as always! Would've loved to see what the other batch looked like coming off the smoker, too, for us non-jerky cannon having folks. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rosco213]

Hello, have you added nitrites before? Just so i can make bigger batches to last longer. wondering if you know what the ratio would be, I'm assuming it would be different than doing eq bacon just because of the curing process and length.

[@FreshMootz]

Your intro is mouthwatering. Can I do this in the air fryer if I dont have a smoker?

[@AdamHatmaker]

By cooking it that high your creating case hardening. when the outside gets hard before the inside dehydrates.

[@dagger4146]

Will have to try this. I've been making burger jerky in a dehydrator for years. Similar recipe, but use a dark soy sauce (not a fan of Kikkoman). Where do you find those cooling racks ???

[@Heygrillhey]

I'm not sure where these ones came from exactly, but I've had good luck with Pampered Chef ones and even random amazon ones.

[@dagger4146]

@@dagger4146 Love eye of round. Underrated cut.

[@blackcattrucking4907]

I tried this recipe out a couple days ago. We like the flavor. Will try it with the dark brown sugar next time as it seems to need just a touch of flavor boost. But overall we like this recipe. However, I was unable to get the jerky to curl without breaking like you do. I set my pellet grill to 175 and smoked the strips for 2 hours. Tested them and they cracked under the curl test. Went another 30 minutes and they were still cracking but everything else was spot on so I pulled them. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? I was using 90/10 ground beef from my local market as that was the leanest I could get at the time. I can travel a town over and get leaner ground if that is the cause. And as I write this I'm about 2 hours out from throwing some sliced London Broil marinated in Dr Pepper/Jalapeno on the grill. Just discovered you a few days ago and love your videos. Thank you.

[@custorio]

how do you extend the shelf life of the jerky?

[@Heygrillhey]

Using cure! Make sure you use a calculator for it though. Too much is dangerous.

[@ronloomis8245]

This is next on my list. I have a reunion coming up and I am calling it untested this will be a big hit.

[@antmod1]

You say to smoke at 170 to 185 on the video, but 160 to 170 on your website. Which one should I go with?

[@natepereira405]

Definitely going to try this with Kangaroo

[@lettingthebearout7528]

I can’t go as low as 160 on my smoker. Do you think I can make these at 225? Love your channel.

[@Heygrillhey]

225 is a little high, but it'll work. Does your smoker not have a lower setting than that?

[@RuckinBrit]

Well done, you said Worcestershire sauce correctly!!

[@Jumppeople23]

Can you do this without the brown sugar? Going for a healthier no sugar option

[@williamkushner747]

Can I use your awesome Dr Pepper Jalapeno whole muscle jerky Marinade recipe with the ground Jerky method by adjusting the liquid ratio? Would be cool if it would work somehow. Thanks for any help

[@averteddisasterbarely2339]

Reduce the sauce down (low heat) to about half a cup or until it's like jam consistency then add to taste ! Sample with how much you add because it's very strong, I use about a quarter cup ! By the way , blend the peppers first then reduce
