I am planning to make 5 lbs. of Ground Beef Jerky. I have a package of Smokehouse Teriyaki Dry Rub & Mix. I was wondering if I need to add cure with this mix also. I plan on smoking and then finishing in a dehydrator. I never used a package mix before so any help would be greatly appreciated. :) :) :)

As Mike has all ready stated YES cure with ground beef.
Doesn't this mix already have a cure package included?? If so, don't add more cure. Just follow the directions.
I don't know if there is any cure in the mix. The ingredients listed are:
Sugar
Soy Sauce Powder (Wheat, Soybeans,Salt)
Maltodextrin
Salt
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Spices
Spice Extractives
BHA (.16%)
BHT (.16%)
and not more than 2% Vegetable Oil and Silicon Dioxide added as a processing aid.
Cure BHA is a preservative and anti toxin.
From my experience, and limited at that :). If it has cure, it will be in a separate small package inside.

Only one package came with it. No cure package.

Just looked at one of my LEM jerky packages. It says, WITH CURE.

The Smokehouse package says "Contains all the seasonings & natural curing ingredients you need!
From what I read on their website, all their jerky seasonings have cure in it. Just add to the meat and smoke.

Thanks Mike and everyone who responded to my post. Like I said, this is the first time that I will use a prepackaged mix and If anyone knew it would be the forum members. Thank you again to all. :D :D :D

I would shoot them an email. I don't see any cure. Usually BHA and BHT are adding to preserve or lengthen the self life of the ingredients. The spice extractive could be celery juice powder, but that is a guess.
My thought also!
I have used these b4. The mixes are meant to be used in a dehydrator or oven. Therefore if you make the mix do add cure #1.
