Beef Jerky

Beef Jerky

EverydayDried

Beef jerky is a protein-dense snack made by thinly slicing lean cuts of beef, marinating them in savory or spicy seasonings, and slowly dehydrating the meat to remove moisture. This preservation method creates a chewy, shelf-stable product with concentrated flavor, delivering 9-15 grams of protein per ounce but often containing high sodium levels from curing. While traditionally smoked over wood fires, modern versions may use oven-drying or commercial dehydrators to achieve its characteristic firm texture and extended preservation.
