Teriyaki Beef Jerky: America’s favorite flavor but why?
Good Jerky is hard to find nowadays. Many manufacturers have been known to take short cuts on the drying or curing process to save time and make their operation more efficient. Others may be starting out with poor quality meat and seasonings in order to keep costs low. In a tough economy it is completely understandable for companies to make efforts to maintain profitability, but not at the expense of my taste buds! Teriyaki Beef Jerky is probably the number one selling flavor of Beef Jerky (I would have to agree with the majority on this one) but it always reminds me of eating Asian cuisine or a Hawaiian luau. I suppose it is that sweet and tangy combination that gives its flavor such Pan-Asian flair.
I am not quite sure why, but whenever I have Teriyaki Beef Jerky I expect it to be softer than other varieties. I do not mean to suggest that regular or natural flavored jerky should be tough and difficult to chew. I have had many enjoyable experiences with Peppered Jerky which I always prefer to buy by the piece from the gas station because it wafer thin and brittle like soda crackers (do not ask me why). I suppose it is because I like to savor the sweetness and that is easier to do when I tear it into smaller pieces or strips if I so desire. Teriyaki Jerky is like candy: once you open the bag, it can quickly disappear and leave you feeling guilty and empty inside no matter how full you may be.
Cheap marinade and some sugar and/or sweetener are not enough to make really good Teriyaki Beef Jerky. Oftentimes artificial flavors and attractive packaging are used as a substitute for a quality product. You can dress it up any you want but after you have chewed and swallowed a piece of Jerky, you know if it is the real McCoy or just some garbage disguised to fool your tongue. Accept nothing less than the best. Premium meat, sliced thin and flavored with organic seasoning and natural flavors is what you want.
