Better Than Bacon
Jerky is a well-known and well-loved snack food. But did you know that you can get your jerky fix in a healthy and delicious main course meal?
Ingredients
- Ruminant fat scraps
- Jerky (can be unflavored dried meat)
- Salad ingredients
- Apple cider vinegar
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Turmeric
Instructions
- After refrigerating your ruminant fat (so it's solid), chop it into really tiny bits (as small as possible). The chopped pieces are about the size of my thumbnail.
- Turn a frying pan on medium-high and drop the chopped fat in.
- Once it's sizzling, turn it down.
- Begin stirring once one side is browned.
- Chop up jerky (or bits of other meat)
- Add jerky (or bits of other meat) to the fat.
- Add salt, pepper, and turmeric. You can be very generous.
- Turn to low and let it cook until everything is caramelized (usually 6-7 minutes).
- While it's cooking, make yourself a salad.
- Chop up lettuce (I use one bunch per salad from those packs of 3)
- Add arugula (a handful)
- Add cilantro (if you're a cilantro person).
- Add cucumbers if you want.
- Add jerky/fat mix to the salad!
- Add olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, and you're done!
