Where to find good Beef Jerky
I've been looking for some Beef Jerky that isn't loaded with sugar and other bad things and have had zero luck. Today I hit an all-time low - found some that actually had blazened across the label, "Made with devitalized wheat protein" Now doesn't THAT just sound yummy and nutritious!
Anyone know of any decent LC brands? |
Why not make your own?
I make vension jerky all the time. It is time consuming but so yummy. :) |
That's an idea. Any pointers on a good way to do it? If I get really interested I'll do a search and see what I turn up, but if you have a way to do it without needing any special gadgets that would be great.
Thanks. |
I order mine from the web--www.jerkyusa.com No sugar. It took me awhile to get the courage to order beef jerky from a website but it was very good and I have ordered several times.

Here are some ideas on home made jerky, by Rachel:

Thanks - I'll probably give the website a try.
I'm not interested in buying a dehydrator - at least not at the present time. I know it can be done without one, but I'm not interested in setting up a smoke house, either. :D Thanks for all the feedback, guys and gals! |
I just use my oven.
I cut the vension 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch thick. Coat each side with a mix of black/red pepper, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. I cover the bottom rack with either foil or a large pan (easier to clean up if it drips). I lay the strips over the other two racks, set the oven for 350, bake for 45 mins to kill any icky stuff, then lower it to 150 for 4-6 hours depending on how dry you like it. I usually set this up to run over night. :) Pretty easy and zero sugar. Plus you can make it the way you like it....you can adjust the seasonings to your own taste this way. Want a smokey flavor? Try adding some of that liquid smoke in a bottle. Instead of sprinkling it I would very very lightly brush it on. |
wbahn,
You can use any recipe you desire as a marinade, and then put it in your oven at 150 degrees (or at your lowest setting). Just test it after a while to see how dry you want it. The drying time depends also on how thin you cut your meat also. Hope this helps!! :D |
Yum!
Mark (szar),
Do you know if the Hot jerky or the Jalapeno jerky has any carbs? I e-mailed the website and I am waiting for a response. I will post here if I find out. Thank you very much for the website! :yum: Julie Website responded that there are no carbs or sugar in the mild, hot or jalapeno! I can't wait to order! Thanks again! |
health food stores that carry meat will have sugar-free jerky. I think, bill, that there may be some version of the semi-national chain Wild Oats around you. (check their website at wildoats.com) Their beef jerky is $19.99 per pound....which is why I tend to make my own in the oven! Though I have run in there starved a couple times and asked for two or three pieces--my version of emergency convenience store food. :)

beef jerky recipe
I have posted my recipe on the forum at:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&threadid=38573 I make mine in the oven too. It's really very easy. I'm going to make another batch just as soon as the price of London broil comes back down. ;) ;-Deb :daizy: |
Thanks, Deb - I think I'll give it a try in a few weeks.
Yeah, we have Wild Oats here - in fact there is one on the way between work and home. But, man are they ever proud of their stuff. When I was looking at buying Udo's Oil, I found it at Vitamin Cottage for $15 for a 17 oz bottle. That's their normal price and I thought that was pretty steep so I called Wild Oats and they had it "on special" for $19. It's regularly $22! So hearing that they have jerky for $20/# is not surprising. |
For carb free beef jerky I just go to my local butcher/deli shop.... owned by a European couple who make ALL their own sausages and jerky... no fillers, sugars, starches etc.... just meat and spices!! Great stuff!! :D

Bar X brand, made here in Albuquerque, has two ingredients: beef, salt. I can buy it at a reasonable price at Costco but I don't know if it's available at Costco elsewhere. The company phone number is on the label, so now I have an excuse to go buy another big bag -- to help you out. :D

Lowcarbjo,
What is the name of the deli/butcher that you go to? I also live in the Vancouver area and would love to know of a good place to get sausage, jerky, etc. Theresa |
