Watch Our Review
Most beef jerky is a compromise between flavour and ingredient list. Brandt Beef Classic New York Steak Jerky tries to skip that compromise entirely — whole-muscle striploin beef, naturally smoked, zero sugar, no preservatives, and 33g of protein per serving. It’s made in the USA from 100% American-raised beef.
What Makes It Different
Most commercial jerky is made from formed and pressed beef — essentially restructured meat shaped into strips. Whole-muscle jerky starts with an actual cut of beef (in this case NY strip, a striploin) and slices it directly. The texture is noticeably different — chewier, more substantial, and closer to eating actual steak than eating a pressed meat product. The naturally smoked finish adds flavour without relying on liquid smoke shortcuts.
Who Should Buy This
This is the right jerky for people on carnivore or keto diets who want a portable protein snack that fits their eating style. With zero sugar and no preservatives, it checks both boxes. It’s also a strong pick for gym-goers who need something with serious protein content for post-workout recovery on the road. Road trip snackers who are tired of service station junk food will appreciate having something this clean in the glovebox.
The Bottom Line
Seb and Mich’s take: this tastes more like jerky made by someone who actually cares about the beef than jerky made by someone who cares about shelf life. The all-natural, no-compromise ingredient list is what sets it apart from the crowded jerky shelf. Check today’s price on Amazon and find more snack reviews on Seb & Mich Review.
