Mojo Spice Ground Beef Jerky

Mojo Spice Ground Beef Jerky

Made with a jerky extruder (jerky gun).

Ingredients:
1 pound lean round roast
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions:
1. Trim all visible fat and connective tissue from the meat and cut into roughly 2-inch cubes. Place in a food processor.
2. Mix the lime juice and seasonings and pour over the meat.
3. Process until very finely chopped; coarser meat won't extrude well and will crumble after drying.
4. Load into a jerky extruder and pipe onto dehydrator trays.
5. Dry at the dehydrator's highest setting (about 145°F) until dry and leathery, about 4 hours for 4 trays. A convection oven also works.
6. Store in tightly closed glass jars.
