The 50 Greatest Jerky Recipes of All Time

Jerky is a form of spiced meat that is dried in a dehydrator or oven to create a delicious, chewy texture and comes in a range of tangy, addictive flavors. The most common meat used to make jerky is Beef, but meats such as Turkey, Chicken and Buffalo are steadily gaining popularity.

Flavors like BBQ and Teriyaki are well known and loved, but jerky is such a versatile product that there are literally thousands of fantastic combinations of meats and flavorings to try. This collection contains 50 of the best jerky recipes. Jerky has been an iconic American favorite for generations. Originating as a Native American creation, ‘ch’arki’, jerky was created as a way of delaying meat spoilage, so that meat didn’t need to be consumed so quickly.

This allowed tribes to spend less time hunting, and more time travelling. In modern times, it is a popular snack for road trips, hiking and camping, for the very same reason – it doesn’t spoil, and is easily portable. Homemade jerky is a better choice for both your taste buds and your wallet, costing on average a quarter of the cost of store-bought jerky. For the more health-conscious, jerky is a high-energy, high protein snack, making it great as an invigorating early morning nibble, or as a post-workout treat to recharge your energy and curb your cravings.
