Product Information

The manufacture of charqui principally consists of salting and sun-drying. In some regions, such as in Puno, the meat is sliced before drying; in others, like Cusco, the meat is dried from whole bone-in carcass pieces, known as 'charqui completo'. [12]

The first thing you can do is choose the right direction to slice your beef, which we covered above. Against the grain = more tender.

Katsu Flavour

It was industrialized in charqueadas (in Brazil) or saladeros (in Argentina and Uruguay). In the United States ch'arki was Anglicised as jerky. [13] [14] If you want to really follow the book, the USDA would advise you precook your beef in an oven so that it reaches an internal temperature of 160 F + much more rapidly. You can then transfer to a dehydrator to continue the dehydration process. However, this will produce a jerky texture that is unlike traditional jerky. This type of jerky has also become very popular in convenience stores in the United States under the name "slab" jerky; it is usually sold in plexiglass containers.

By going with a lean cut of beef, you reduce the amount of fat you need to cut out. Plus, these are often the cheaper cuts of meat! Bass LJ, McClung JP.

The less exposure to air the better, and it’s a good idea to keep out of direct light.

Our favorite is eye of round, and it’s what we used to make our original beef jerky. But you can also use sirloin tip, flank steak, top round or bottom round — all make excellent jerky! Preparing the Beef Removing Excess Fat Cutting off all fat from eye of round beef

Each mini pouch of steak bites provides 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar per serving. Tasters love the hearty steak flavor balanced with a bit of tangy sweetness from the addition of pineapple powder. Tasters also note this jerky is more tender than other brands, making it a perfect option for kids who might not have the patience for tougher, chewier brands of jerky.
