About the Brand

A Word from Jack...
We’re a company from a town that you’ve likely never heard of with a jerky that you have. As a matter of fact, we’ve got the best-selling jerky in all of North America and the fastest growing in the world. Not bad for a family business based in Minong, Wisconsin, population 521. We’re smack dab in the middle of the great Northwoods – somewhere between "where the heck are we" and God’s country. It’s the kind of place where flannel’s good enough for Sunday, and coffee only comes one way--black. Around here, there is fresh clean air, lots of trees, good fishing and hunting. If we didn’t already live here, it would be a great place to get away from it all.

So, how did a guy from Minong start making beef jerky? Well, it came to me one day when my boys and I were headed out to the woods for an afternoon hunt. We stopped at a local store for snacks and bought some jerky out of the glass jar on the counter. Turned out to be about as tough as our hunting boots. It was clear to me that whoever made that tough jerky cut the meat the wrong way. You see, I know all about cutting beef, since my family’s been in the meat business since the 1890s.

Well, the boys and I went back home and found my great-grandfather’s original recipes. The paper was yellowed, but the recipes were as good as the day they were written. We decided to try our hand at making jerky the genuine, authentic way. It turned out even better than we could have hoped for.

It didn’t take long for us to decide to share our jerky with the rest of the folks in the area. We started selling our Jack Link’s Jerky out of the back of my truck from one mom-and-pop store to the next. Pretty soon, it was nearly impossible to keep up. Folks just couldn’t get enough of our jerky. So we geared up to make more. And more. And more. Instead of just sharing our jerky with folks around here, we started sharing it with the world--adding new flavors, new textures and new sizes. In fact, I like to think we changed the way people think about jerky. They’re just not willing to settle for jerky as tough as an old hunting boot anymore.

Even with all the changes over the years, the important things have stayed the same. We’re still making jerky from our own time-tested recipes--the kind of jerky my father, grandfather and great-grandfather would be proud to claim as their own. -- Jack Link

This review is from: Jack Link's Beef Steak, Peppered, 2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

The product consists of an approximately 10 inch (25 cm) long piece of meat with 1 or 2 smaller (approx 1 1/2-2 inches, 3-5 cm) pieces thrown in. The meat is about 1/4 inch (6-7 mm) thick and comes in a fairly easy, peel open package. Taste is good though on the salty side (it carries more than 1/2 the daily recommended amount of salt). It does not actually taste like steak, just jerky, but the meat is pretty tender and I didn't feel like I was wrestling with shoe leather. I appreciate the fact that the pepper bits are not "loose" like some other jerkies, so crumbs are not much of a concern. Per the box, store in a cool, dry place.

...in that it's chewy, beefy, and has a long shelf life. Jack Link's Peppered jerky is a tad too peppery for my liking, so I expected the teriyaki flavor to be just as robust. Instead, it is mild. Still really good, however! One word of caution, although it's addictive, eat in moderation, or your sodium levels will be off the chart.

I find the Jack Links Teriyaki Beef Steaks excellent in taste and loaded with protein without a lot of fat nor a lot of carbohydrates, and excellent choice for camping, trips etc. the price thru Amazon can not be beat. I am very satisfied.
