POW WOW JERKY

2 lb Very Lean Ground Beef Or Other Meat
1/3 c Soy Sauce
1 ts Liquid Smoke
1 1/2 ts Brown Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 ts Pepper
1 ts Pureed Garlic

Mix all ingredients together well. Refrigerate, covered, overnight to blend
flavors. Roll out the mixture between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap to
a 1/4-inch thickness. Place the layers of meat in a 150 F dehydrator, in
convenient size pieces or place on metal mesh over cake racks in a 150 F
oven. Dry meat for 7 to 8 hrs. The jerky will be chewy but not completely
dry. Cut into 3/4- to 1-inch strips with kitchen shears. Makes 3/4 lb jerky.
