Teriyaki Beef Jerkey

By far the most popular flavor of jerky in America is teriyaki beef jerky. Teriyaki is traditionally a Japanese cooking method that involves cooking meat in a sweet soy sauce. The flavor is distinct and delicious and has been applied to many different types of cooking around the world.

Teriyaki beef jerky is made by almost every single manufacturer of jerky in the US. That is how popular the flavor is. It surpasses every other flavor in sales and consumption including unflavored, smoked, and peppered jerkies. The sweet, rich taste suits jerky very well and this flavor can easily be created at home.

Making teriyaki beef jerky at home requires a proper cut of meat with all the fat removed and a food dehydrator. Once the meat is prepared correctly it can be soaked in a teriyaki marinade overnight then dehydrated and converted into jerky. Popular ingredients used for the marinade are soy sauce, orange juice and honey.
