Table of Contents

Homemade jerky is easy to make and tastes delicious. It is a mess-free, nutritious snack that is easy to take on the go. Jerky is perfect for road trips and camping, but also great for movies, sharing as a gift, or as an afternoon snack. It can be made in bulk and stored easily.

The equipment required to make jerky is minimal and you most likely have all the tools you need in your kitchen already. With the exception of pork, you can make jerky from almost any kind of meat, including beef, turkey, salmon, and game meats.

Unlike other Jerky books, each marinade recipe is formulated for use with one pound of meat. This makes it easy for the jerky-making hobbyist to try a variety of recipes or make small batches. If you plan to use more meat, simply multiply the recipe to suit the amount of meat you are going to use.

Using the recipes in this book, it is highly unlikely that you will want to buy jerky in the store ever again! Before you get started with the marinade recipes, be sure to read through the following pages for safety tips, equipment, directions, and allergy considerations.

Protein Power

Whether made from beef like the classic jerky we all remember as kids or from one of the more alternative meats like turkey, lamb, pork, or bison, jerky is an excellent source of low-fat protein. Protein is one of the most important substances that we need to provide to our bodies as it sustains our energy levels and helps us to stay strong and alert throughout the entire day. Protein contains the building blocks the body needs, amino acids, to produce and repair muscle tissue, bone tissue, cartilage, skin, and blood. Sources of protein, such as jerky, also contain vitamin B which is vital for proper energy production and release. Without enough vitamin B in the diet, a person can become easily fatigued, weak, and shaky, and they can suffer from low blood pressure, depression, anxiety, and difficulty in remembering or concentrating. Everyone needs to have sufficient levels of protein in their diets, but athletes and those with physically strenuous jobs particularly need to maintain their protein levels as it helps to repair and strengthen muscles that get fatigued during physical activity. Jerky is a great way to get just a little bit more protein into the diet and it can make a really great, sustaining snack.

Low-Fat Meat

While protein is extremely important for the body, many sources are high in fat, particularly saturated fats. Saturated fats have been linked to obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, and stroke, and they are very dangerous to the health of those that already suffer from preexisting heart conditions. Jerky, however, is extremely low in fat. Meats that are naturally fatty dont dry well, so meats with lower fat contents overall are chosen such as lean beef or pork and bison. Those with visible pockets of fat have the fat cut off before drying to improve the texture and quality of the jerky. This means that jerky is almost always low in fat content, making it a healthier meat alternative than many. Substituting one serving of fatty meat for one serving of jerky can help to reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and heart attack, and it can help you live a longer, healthier life.

Avoid Anemia

Many people, young women ages 20 to 45 in particular, are prone to anemia, also known as iron deficiency syndrome. Anemia occurs when the person isnt getting enough iron from their diets or isnt sufficiently replacing the iron their bodies are losing (especially for women with heavy periods). Symptoms include fatigue, pale skin, arrhythmia of the heart, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and an inability to focus or concentrate. These symptoms occur because iron facilitates the transfer of oxygen throughout the entire body and without it, certain tissues such as those relating to energy production or brain function start to slow down. Iron is most prominently found in red meat, and jerky is an excellent source of iron when made from red meats such as beef or bison. Adding a few servings of beef or bison jerky to one's diet can help to reduce the risk of anemia and keep the oxygen flowing throughout the body, allowing for optimal functioning.

CAUTIONS

While jerky is a healthy source of protein, it can often be heavily salted. This salt content is necessary for proper preservation that allows the jerky to stay fresh for long periods of time, but it is not always ideal for health. High levels of salt are particularly dangerous for folks with pre-existing heart conditions as they can drastically raise blood pressure levels, leading to heart attack and stroke. High levels of salt intake are also associated with osteoporosis, kidney stones, and stomach cancer as the body has to struggle to process those high levels of salt, which puts too much stress on those systems in the body and can lead to disease. Limit jerky intake to help limit salt intake, and avoid jerky altogether if youre prone to heart disease and high blood pressure.
