My first time Beef Jerky and for me the taste was very good. Spicy and meaty without the manufacturer having to resort to artificial mono-sodium glutamate (It is repeatedly alleged that MSG would be something natural, but this is not so, it is an industrially manufactured salt that is chemically related to a protein component, the meat can taste meaty).
A star I pull from, but there are some overly tough / hard pieces that would not be necessary at evenly-thin cut ...
