Special Ingredients & Process Thick cuts of 100% USA Beef are lacquered with a spicy paste of cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Once infused with the blistering heat, the jerky is slow cooked for a minimum of five hours. The meat soaks up the fiery spice blend which translates into the final dried product leaving an after burn that scorches the senses. If you like pure, unadulterated heat, this is the jerky for you! Tasting Notes Enjoy a taste of Music City with the Nashville Hot Beef Jerky. It wont take long for the heat to hit your lips, but you wont just find pure heat here. The garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar contribute a well-rounded flavor profile that will keep you coming back for more. You cant overlook the quality of the beef. We use 100% Choice or Better Angus Beef from Nebraska which lends a rich meat flavor that stands up to the blazing heat. HOT, HOT, HOT!
