- 1). Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F.
- 2). Combine salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion power and ginger in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the ground beef to the mixed spices and combine the spice mixture with the ground beef.
- 3). Place a third of the spiced beef mixture into the food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Place the portion that was run through the food processor aside on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat this process again with the other two thirds of the spiced ground beef mixture. This grinds the beef into finer bits and ensures that the spices are thoroughly mixed with the meat. Once finished you should have three equal portions of processed spiced beef.
- 4). Place a sheet of waxed paper over the top of each of the three portions of spiced ground beef. Use the rolling pin to roll the mixture between the sheets of waxed paper into a thin rectangular shape. Do this with all three portions of ground beef.
- 5). Remove the top sheet of waxed paper on one of the beef portions and turn over onto a cookie cooling rack. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Repeat this process with the other two portions of ground beef.
- 6). Place the cookie cooling sheets into the preheated oven. Prop the oven door half way open and bake for three house. After three hours of bake time, rotate the pan once and allow the mixture to bake for another three hours.
- 7). Remove the jerky from the oven and cut into thin strips. Allow the strips to cool before eating.
