How to Make Hamburger Beef Jerky
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional).
- Thoroughly mix the ingredients with your hands until evenly combined. The more you work the mixture, the better the texture.
- Using a jerky gun or similar tool, press the beef mixture into thin strips.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp liquid smoke, and 2 tbsp ketchup.
- Dip each beef strip into the Worcestershire mixture, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Arrange the coated strips on dehydrator trays, leaving space between each for even drying.
- Dry the jerky according to your dehydrator's instructions. This usually takes 6-8 hours at 160°F (71°C).
