There are a number of commercial products that are available for purchase. These products are convenient to use and since they don\u2019t need to be refrigerated, you can order them on-line without the need for having to purchase an insulated foam shipping box.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who enjoy cooking, you can easily make your own jerky at home. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"288\" height=\"216\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5134\" alt=\"Mock Meat\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey.jpg\" \/>Free recipes for this product abound on the internet.\u00a0 The procedure is really quite simple.\u00a0 Start by making your favorite \u201cground meat.\u201d The meat in this picture was made from a combination of textured vegetable protein mixed with various flavorings, apple juice, ground flax seeds (as a binder), and gluten.\u00a0 After making this soy product, I rolled it flat on a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat and baked it low and slow in an oven at 250\u00b0F for two hours. After two hours, I took the pan out of the oven, gently pried up the edges of the silicone mat, and flipped the entire product face down on the pan. I then peeled off the mat and baked the TVP for another two hours until the product was thoroughly dry.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting jerky has a number of uses. I eat them as snacks. I used them as a meat substitute since they hold up well to sauces and gravies. I also coarsely grind vegan jerky in a food processor<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5135\" alt=\"mock ground beef\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-a.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-a.jpg 579w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-a-300x109.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/> and mix this in with additional vegan ground meat. Since the dried jerky is more resistant to absorbing moisture than \u00a0regular \u201cground meat\u201d a combination of dried jerky with a vegan ground meat allows one to make all sorts of products such as meatballs, meat loaf, burgers, and steaks. This product will not turn into a formless mush when paired with a sauce or gravy.<\/p>\n<p>The contrasting textures also make this vegan meat more realistic. As any former meat eater knows, real ground beef include fat mixed with various cuts of ground meat. Some of this ground meat is tender while others are tough. The end result is that when you bit into a real hamburger, your teeth should encounter some resistance. This is incidentally my single biggest criticism of commercially produced garden burgers. It is my personal opinion that a real burger should have contrasting textures.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured below are two types of vegan jerky. The one on the left was commercially produced by Primal. This is a seitan based (wheat gluten) product that comes in 1 oz. individually packaged marinated strips. Primal produces six varieties that include teriyaki, hot and spicy, hickory smoked, Thai peanut, mesquite lime, and Texas BBQ.<\/p>\n<p>The one on the right is a product that I made at home. This is a textured vegetable protein and wheat gluten product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5136\" alt=\"Mock jerky\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-b.jpg\" width=\"419\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-b.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey2-b-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to grinding jerky and mixing it with a vegan ground meat to make such product as meatballs and meatloaf, vegan jerky may be sliced and cooked as is. Pair this jerky with a vegan brown gravy to simulate a pot roast. Pan fry diced vegan jerky, add some liquid smoke, and toss it in your favorite BBQ sauce to make a barbecue. Grind the vegan jerky and cook up a Sloppy Joe. Add jerky to a stir fry. Add it to curried vegetables. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured below &#8211; Top Left: Beef Teriyaki, Top Right: Pot Roast, Bottom Left: Green Chile Sloppy Joes, Bottom Right: Sweet and Sour Pork<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"563\" height=\"423\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5137\" alt=\"Mock meats\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey4.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey4.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jerkey4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although commercially produced products are certainly convenient to use, it is actually much cheaper to make this product at home. Teriyaki flavored Primal Jerky purchased through Amazon.com costs $25.32 for 1 \u00bd pounds. This comes to $1.05 per oz. <i>Amazon prime members do not pay shipping costs.<\/i> In contrast, vegan jerky made at home costs $6.62 for 2 \u00bd pounds. This costs 17 cents per oz.<\/p>\n<p>In a shameless effort at self-promotion, please be aware that I am writing a series of vegan cookbooks called, \u201cThe Unintentional Vegan \u2013 Vegan Version Recipes of Popular Comfort Foods.\u201d Volume 1: Beef is available for purchase as an e-book through Amazon.com.
