Victoria Dwek, Leah Schapira, Renee Muller, Shaindy Menzer, & Esti Waldman How to Make Your Own Beef Jerky Beef jerky is a super popular snack nowadays. If you like meat, we can’t think of a better protein-on-the-go. It’s definitely more wholesome and satisfying than other nosh and more filling than a protein bar (though it may be high in sodium). Beef jerky, though, is pretty expensive to buy. Luckily, you can make it at home (it’s not hard!) and get much better value. To learn about the right cuts on meat to use, we spoke to Evergreen Butcher Dovid Asovski. Though some of his clients prefer using other cuts, such a brisket, to prepare beef jerky, we went with the recommended top of the rib. Enjoy beef jerky whether you’re on the go, or you want to prepare a nice charcuterie-style board to serve along with the deli on Shabbat or a Yom Tov afternoon. Thank you Chantzy Weinstein for teaching us the technique! This perfect on-the-go protein can be easily made at home. How to Get Beef Jerky Meat Ask your local butcher to thinly slice top of the rib (very thin!!). Some butchers, such as the meat dept at Evergreen, have “beef jerky” labeled in the showcase. How to Store Beef Jerky Unlike store-bought beef jerky, the version you will make at home does not have preservatives. It’ll be shelf-stable in a container or bag for about three days, or, if you want to make a lot in advance, keep it frozen. Style SPIRIT & FORTHEWOMANOFTODAY
