Make sure all of the spices are well incorporated into the ground beef.

Load the jerky gun and begin squeezing out long strips of jerky onto the dehydrator trays.

With a basting brush, brush all of the jerky strips with the basting sauce.
7
(You only need to do the top side at this time.)
8
Turn the dehydrator on and set it to the jerky setting which is 160F/71C.
9
Let it run for 2 hours.
10
Turn all of the jerky strips over and pat them with paper towels to remove excess grease.

They are ready to eat warm, but I like to let them cool.

Notes: My jerky gun came with 2 tips.
22
1 for making thin jerky and a dual tip for making thicker ones.
23
I used the thicker tip for this recipe.
24
If you wish to make the thinner kind, you will need to adjust the dehydrating times accordingly.
