Jerky

Thin strips of meat, usually beef, that is salted and then cured by either smoking or drying. Jerky was a staple for pioneers. Today it is served as a salty, chewy snack.

Recipes

  1. Black Pepper Jerky

    This classic jerky gets a double dose of peppery flavor from both cracked peppercorns in the marinade and coarsely ground peppercorns on top.

  2. Mexican Lime Jerky

    Spiked with jalapenos and fresh lime juice, this zingy jerky was inspired in part by Rachel Graville's stint as sous-chef at a Mexican resort.

  3. Sweet & Spicy Jerky

    Rachel Graville created this licoricey, Asian-inflected jerky after drinking a Manhattan Special soda, a fizzy, coffee-flavored drink created in 1895.
