👨‍🍳 Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, mustard seed, garlic powder, liquid smoke, curing salt, and pepper using your hands.

Form into two equal logs, and wrap each one in aluminum foil with the shiny side facing the meat.

Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Poke small holes through the aluminum foil in the bottom of the meat rolls using a toothpick.

Place on a broiler rack and fill the broiler pan with 1/2 inch of water.

Bake for 90 minutes in the preheated oven.

Cool slightly, then refrigerate for 12 hours before unwrapping and serving.
