Top grass fed beef jerky: If you didn’t know, the word “jerky” comes from the Quechuan language of people indigenous to the Andes Mountains. It’s an Anglicization of their term for dried meat, ch’arki. Ch’arki was traditionally made from llama meat, which I gather makes one fine jerky, though regrettably, I’ve not sampled it yet. The keyword there being ‘yet’. If you don’t like jerky, permit me to posit the possibility that you simply haven’t tried the right brand yet. There are many cheap jerkies cluttering grocery store checkout aisles and gas station countertops, and these inferior meatstuffs can indeed leave a bad taste in the mouth, literally and metaphorically (not to mention the various chemicals and additives they use, which may or may not end up harming you in the long run).
The fundamentals are pretty simple. Slice up some meat, marinade it and then dry it out. Note drying is not necessarily cooking. The main goal is only to eliminate moisture. The real delicacy and art of the process comes with the cut of meat, the preparation, the marinade, the spices, etc. Tough or Soft: Some jerky is tough and chewy designed for a slow flavor absorbing experience. Others are soft to go down easy. Generally soft jerky has been tenderized or ground down and reformed.
Deep, meaty, peppered flavor with layers of sweet and spicy.
