Why Choose Thanksgiving Jerky Snacks

Choosing Thanksgiving jerky for holiday snacks means selecting a convenient option prepared with care instead of needless processing. We want holiday snacking to feel special, so we take care at every stage of our small-batch preparation.

Our recipes use specific marinades, seasonings, and smoking methods to develop their flavor. These snacks are portable and easy to grab on-the-go for holiday travel. 

Cut

The cut of meat plays the most important role in how jerky feels and tastes. A variety of beef cuts yield varying degrees of firmness and chew. We use a different method, choosing specific cuts for their flavor, structure and texture.

Beef brisket has a different muscle and fat structure from leaner cuts such as top round. Brisket contains intramuscular fat that contributes to the flavor and texture of the finished jerky. This means that our Brisket Beef Jerky can be made to have a tasty, pliable texture depending on the cut and drying. Slicing across the grain shortens the muscle fibers and creates an easier-to-chew bite.

Texture

Our Thanksgiving Jerky Snacks feature two different highly enjoyable texture styles for easy eating. Texture differs with cut, slice thickness, marinade, and drying process, creating different levels of chew. The final jerky has a great chew, and the marinade and seasonings add to the flavor of each bite. Our snack sticks have a distinct outer snap with a softer, uniform center. 

Ingredients

Great jerky begins with simple good-quality ingredients. We stick to recipe-specific seasonings/savory marinades and traditional smoking techniques. Recipes differ by product and may include black pepper, sea salt, garlic, citrus, soy products, brown sugar, or other seasonings. The meat is marinated before cooking and smoking to allow the seasonings to develop during preparation. Our products are hardwood smoked using traditional methods. The smoking creates a savory smoky flavor that enhances the flavors of the recipes.
