I've been making jerky for years and just sliced it and used soy sauce or a variety of sauces mad hatter style in the dehydrator. I just bought a jerky gun and actual jerky cure mix...
Alright, here's my first attempt at ground beef flat jerky something. I mixed 7# of 85/15 and added some more spices and was still not enough. Half was in the dehydrator and half smoked with whiskey oak then finished in the oven.
