Jerk jerky

[zwiller]

Inspired by the threads here I dove into pork jerky. If you have doubts, don't. I did. No more! jcam222 and others are to blame, I forget. WOW. Good stuff. The asian theme is KILLER for this. I decided to try a different direction. Not perfected but thought you'd guys would enjoy.
Ground pork loin, WW hot, minced green onion, soy sauce, lime juice, cure, mesquite smoke powder, fresh ground allspice. LOL finished pic off

Looks great man! I’ve not tried ground jerkies yet. You know I love that jerk flavor!

Good call taking the Walkers Wood (WW) and adding to the true jerk flavors. The WW is so overpowering hot you miss onion and allspice.

It looks good. The only ground I have made before was with a jerky gun.

How did you shape it? by hand?

I love ground done in the MES40. Can hardly tell its ground meat when done.

First time for me. Did a medium grind and a little thinner than store so will try more course next time. I would say it's at least 50% faster than whole muscle. Expected shooting the jerky onto the tray would be a big mess but not so. Went WAY better than I thought.

Thanks. WW is a good base to start with but yep, missing a few things. I think there are some limits as to what they can package... Years ago I made the real deal so I know what it's supposed to be. Think this one is missing a good dose of BP and a tiny bit of little sweetness. Maybe a tiny bit of ketchup or maybe molasses.

Turned out better than I expected. Need to try smoking it. On the to do list.

Thanks. Yeah, pretty unique flavor for jerky. Not stopping on the formula until it gets near Jack Link level and will post it.

How do you run it in MES? Took 24hrs plus in the dehydrator.

This was last run:

Ground Bloody Mary and Teriyaki Jerky

This my first time smoking Jerky. Wow what a difference. Now that I have the PID on the MES this was easy. Used my last LJ Competition blend dust in the tray. Note to self make more pellet dust. Used Watson seasonings. Used mixer with paddle to blend. Let sit over night. Did 2 hours at...
