Description

This Beyond Beef jerky is a salty, spicy, chewy, and vegan alternative to beef jerky. Perfect for hitting the trails or snacking on at home.

Ingredients

16 ounces plant-based "ground beef" (such as Beyond Meat® Beefy Crumbles)
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Directions

1 Combine plant-based ground beef, liquid smoke, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard, and red pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
2 Transfer mixture onto a large cutting board. Using a rolling pin flatten the mixture to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a sharp knife cut mixture into strips. Slide the knife under the strips and lay them on the racks of a dehydrator, making sure not to overcrowd.
3 Set dehydrator to 155 degrees F (68 degrees C). Dehydrate for 2 hours 30 minutes.
4 Remove lid from the dehydrator and let strips cool for 30 minutes. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
