Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground mustard
• ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
• 16 ounces plant-based "ground beef" (such as Beyond Meat® Beefy Crumbles)

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

Set dehydrator to 155 degrees F (68 degrees C). Dehydrate for 2 hours 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove lid from the dehydrator and let strips cool for 30 minutes. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
