The Meat Makers Original Taste Dried Beef Steak, 200g

I love beef jerky, so thought I would try this particular one from The Meat Makers. This beef jerky has a lovely flavour, and it is one of those that you can chew on for ages; it keeps its flavour well. One thing you often seem to get with jerky is the different textures, and some of them are downright ‘tough as old boots’ to chew, but this jerky is nice and is not overly tough. I could eat this jerky all day…if only they did a larger bag!

Proper beef jerky at last! This pack lasts me 4-5 days great for a protein boost, tasty healthy snack. Beware though, if you're used to the soft chemical stuff the UK is fond of (usually biltong marked up as jerky) this is the real deal, tougher and chewier but tastier!

The quality of the meat is really good, But it's too salty for my personal taste. Less salt would have made this a 5 star for me!

Bought this for a my girlfriends birthday in the middle of January, when I first tried it, it was very tasty! But after leaving it for a few week in the cupboard sealed it has grown mold! Very disappointed!

I understand that curing requires a slow process and of course salt but other products do not register no where near the salt level I found when tasting this. The quality of the meat is great, just a huge let down that you need a glass of water for each piece eaten!

Best quality jerky available to buy sheets of meet bigger than your hand, I Dont write reviews often maybe 2 a year but this meat is amazing the flavour is strong beefy better than jack links or blitong or many others I have tried no bad bits at all

Good stuff 👍

I was looking for a dry meat more Mexican style that’s why I resorted to buy it online. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t. The taste was pretty much the same as the jerky meat you can get in the supermarket, however the quality was clearly superior.

Consumo occasionalmente la carne essiccata da molti anni, ho provato più o meno tutte le marche reperibili online, avevo anche già assaggiato questa marca di origine Lituana, ma non avevo mai visto ne tanto meno assaggiato le bistecche essiccate! Veniamo al contenuto del sacchetto, si tratta di fette di manzo secche, realizzate con carne bovina europea essiccata, marinata, speziata e non spezzettata, infatti le fette vengono lasciate intere proprio come fossero delle bistecche di circa 15 cm. Per realizzare 200 grammi di Beef Jerky Steak occorrono 458 grammi di carne, il risultato è un prodotto ricco di proteine e senza glutine. Gli ingredienti oltre alla fesa di manzo sono acqua, cipolle, sale, aglio, spezie, fruttosio. Può contenere tracce di soia, sedano, senape e frutta a guscio. I dati nutrizionali sono: Energia 287Kcal / 1215kJ Grassi 4,6 g - di cui grassi saturi 2,1 g Carboidrati 1,1 g - di cui zuccheri 0,5 g Proteine ​​60,4 g Fruttosio 4,8 g Il sacchetto una volta aperto va consumato entro due giorni, facilita la conservazione la chiusura salva freschezza incorporata e la presenza all'interno della bustina per assorbire l'umidità. Una volta aperto può anche essere conservato in frigorifero per aver qualche giorno in più, è comunque sconsigliato risigillarlo. Il sapore è intenso e persistente, è come una succosa bistecca di manzo ai ferri speziata il giusto con sale e pepe, tagliata abbastanza sottile da non creare problemi nella masticazione (non tutte le marche di carne secca hanno queste accortezze). A livello di sapore e consistenza trovo che sia un ottima carne essiccata, però non mi sarebbe dispiaciuto una confeziona da 100 grammi invece che 200, ma per chi la gusta in compagnia è sicuramente l'ideale. Il prezzo al Kg è abbastanza in linea con le offerte della concorrenza però ho notato che spesso va in offerta a quasi la metà del presso. Ho ordinato di sabato ricevuto il giorno dopo (domenica). La scadenza riportata sulla busta era 09/2022. Mi auguro di esservi stato utile e buon appetito.

Eigentlich mache ich mir beef jerky selbst, aber hinsichtlich der Konsistenz bekomme ich es so wie das hier angebotene nicht hin; deshalb kaufe ich es manchmal; kostet auch weniger als wenn man es selbst macht (es sei denn, man kauft Supermarktfleisch, aber das geht für mich aus verschiedenen Gründen garnicht :)). Über Geschmack kann man nicht streiten - mir schmeckt es ausgezeichnet, manchmal ist es mir ein klein wenig zu salzig, aber das finde ich besser, als wenn es zu lasch ist. Es ist nicht sonderlich viel Zucker zugesetzt; das finde ich gut. Die Konsistenz reicht von bißfest bis etwas zäh - es sind halt nicht alle Bullen gleich. Aber es ist weit entfernt von den eher gummiartigen (und mit Zusatzstoffen überfrachteten) Produkten der Fa. Jack Lynns (osä. :)) oder den bröseligen Produkten aus der Paleo-Ecke - ich finde den kernigen Biss gut, man hat eine Weile zu kauen und kann so den Geschmack voll erleben. Noch ein paar Sätze zu der immer wieder zu lesenden Schimmelproblematik: Ich hatte noch nie ein verschimmeltes Produkt erhalten (bis jetzt ca. 20 Mal gekauft); die geschlossene Packung lagert bei mir in einem dunklen Schrank bei Zimmertemperatur und nach dem Öffnen der Packung bei Umgebungstemperatur (um Kondensation zu vermeiden) sollte man versuchen, das Produkt innerhalb von ein, zwei Tagen aufzubrauchen. Die kleinen weißen Flecke, die manchmal sehr großflächig auftreten können, sind Ausblühungen von Salz. Mir ist das Produkt einmal in der bereits geöffneten, aber dann wieder verschlossenen Packung verschimmelt (Schimmelfarbe: ein sehr helles Grün), da ich es in einer warmen Hütte aus dem noch kalten Rucksack gezogen, geöffnet und dann wieder verschlossen und so für zwei Tage "vergessen" hatte. Für mich ist die "Schimmelfähigkeit" ein Qualitätsmerkmal - außer Salz sind keine Konservierungsstoffe enthalten. Fazit: niemals im Kühlschrank aufbewahren, nur öffnen, wenn das Produkt bereits Umgebungstemperatur angenommen hat, und einmal mit den Händen angefasste Stücke nicht wieder zurück in die Tüte geben.

I loved the old 200g packages but ever since they ran out of those and switched to sending me 2×100g packages the quality has been different. The jerky has a different flavour which is not bad but not quite as flavourful as the old one and the texture is much harder and drier, probably because the slices are thinner. There’s also sometimes a bunch of little pieces which was rarely the case with the 200g bags. Also now packaging is really excessive & wasteful because it’s two bags which are almost as big as the old bag and then those bags are placed inside an even larger bag. The price is no longer really worth it. I miss the real dried beef steak! This is just overpriced, mediocre jerky now. Though at least the ingredients are still excellent, and I appreciate that there is some fat in this jerky which adds flavour and nutrition. More fat would be even better!

Schmeckt gut sehr gut

Die Dinger schmecken mir nicht so besonders gut. Nicht vergleichbar mit den echten Jerkey Beefs. Etwas fade.
