First attempt at beef jerky

[James J]

I received the Cabela’s jerky pistol as an early Christmas gift.



Mixed up 2 pounds of ground beef with Backwoods jerky seasoning, curing salt, and teriyaki.



Made 2 trays and put them on the WSM at 180 for 4 hours.





Really pleased with the final product, and will definitely be making more!

Looks tasty.

James, since you used ground beef would you describe the jerky as more tender than traditional jerky? Or did the seasoning really tighten it up?

Yes, more tender than traditional jerky. Kind of like a mix between jerky and a snack stick. Still pretty tasty!
