MARINATED BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions, 6-ounces each. Form into 5-inch wide patties with a deep indention in the middle. Place in a large shallow, glass baking pan.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the burger patties. Turn the burgers then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at 1 to 4 hours (or longer if desired) turning at least once.
• When ready to cook, remove the burgers from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Clean the grill grates with a wire brush. Oil the grates with paper towels soaked with vegetable oil.
• Heat a gas grill to 325-350°F. If you don't have a thermometer, heat on high until hot, then reduce the heat to medium before adding the burgers. Using tongs, carefully oil the grilling surface again thoroughly.
• Grill the burgers until cooked through, about 7-9 minutes on each side.
• Allow the hamburgers to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

• Cover patties and let marinade in refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Grill over high heat to quickly sear outside of burger and seal in juices. Cook 3-4 minutes per side.

GROUND BEEF JERKY - GROUND VENISON JERKY

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Using a jerky gun, press thin strips onto dehydrator racks. Or, roll thin between parchment paper, cut into strips and place on racks.
• Dehydrate for 7-12 hours until dry and crisp.
• Store up to 7 days in refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.

GROUND BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, combine all ingredients and let sit (refrigerated) for at least two hours. I mixed this up at bedtime and let it sit until after lunch the next day, and it wasn't too strong.
• Load the mixture in the jerky gun and use the gun to load your dehydrator trays. I do recommend using the mesh inserts or fruit leather trays for your dehydrator. This mixture is fairly soft because of the added liquid, which makes it easier to fire through the gun.
• If you don't have a jerky gun, roll the mixture out very thinly (1/8 inch thick) and score lines where you would like the pieces to break apart.
• Dry at 145° - 165° F (63° - 74° C) for 4 to 12 hours, until jerky is hard but still flexible and contains no pockets of moisture. For extra safety, heat finished jerky in a 275° F (135° C) oven for 10 minutes.

BEST CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Choose a chicken marinade flavor and place all ingredients (minus the chicken breast) into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
• Place chicken breast into a glass container or gallon-size bag. Then, pour the marinade on top of the chicken, making sure it is covered.
• Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or for up to 6 hours.

GROUND BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 160-170 degrees F using your favorite hardwood. Strong woods like hickory or oak will give you a robust smoke flavor, mild woods like apple or maple will be more subtle.
• Make the ground beef mixture. Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and combine with hands to distribute the seasonings evenly through the meat.
• Form the jerky sticks. Fill a jerky cannon and extrude the jerky onto flat racks at your desired length. Be sure the jerky isn't overlapping or touching other pieces. If you don't have a cannon, place the seasoned beef between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the meat to an even 1/8th inch thickness using a rolling pin. Cut the flattened beef into strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Remove the top sheet of parchment, place your flat rack on top of the meat, and carefully flip the whole thing over. Remove the remaining sheet of parchment paper and gently separate the jerky strips on the rack.
• Dehydrate the ground beef jerky. Place the jerky topped flat racks on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for 2.5-3 hours total. The jerky will have shrunk in size, picked up a dark red color, and bend without breaking when it is finished. If you have an instant read thermometer, you can check to make sure the strips have cooked above 165 degrees F.
• Cool, store, and enjoy! Allow your jerky strips to cool completely on the rack before transferring to a zip top bag. This jerky will last for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
