Ground jerky

Ground jerky is a softer chew than jerky strips but takes longer to make. It is often easier to at least partially freeze the meat before you put it through the grinder as it grinds better. It is important to thoroughly mix the marinade with the ground jerky and it's best to do it by hand. You will freeze your hands though so you have to mix it until you can't feel your fingers to get a thorough mix. Once it is mixed through with one of your favorite jerky marinades you will have to grind it again but finer this time.
