Jerky is lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, cut into strips, and then dried to prevent spoilage. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt, to prevent bacteria from developing on the meat before sufficient moisture has been removed.
Jerky is the process of cooking meat, then drying it for later consumption. There are several ways to make jerky, including drying, smoking and curing the meat, but the most important aspect of making jerky is choosing the right kind of meat. Beef flank steak, venison, tenderloin and rump roast are among the best choices for jerky because they tend to be lean and flavorful.
