CHEAP & EASY BEEF JERKY STRIPS USING GROUND BEEF
Although definitely cheaper than store bought, making your own homemade beef jerky can still be costly. It all depends on the type and cut of meat used.
London broil is one of my favorite meats to make jerky with, but it costs roughly $10-12 a pound (here in Alaska, anyways), so using it on a normal basis isn’t financially feasible.
What is financially feasible, however, is lean ground beef. I pay about $10 for 3 pounds of ground beef, and if you factor in another $2-3 for the beef broth, sea salt, and seasonings, I can fill a gallon-size bag about 3/4 of the way full with jerky using this recipe for about $13. That’s a lot of jerky for cheap, cheap, cheap!!
Ingredients
3 pounds ground beef (use 90% lean meat/10% fat or leaner)
5 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons onion powder
3-4 teaspoons sea salt (we prefer 4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/4 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Wright’s Hickory Liquid Smoke
2 teaspoons unsulphured molasses
