6 servings
For the jerky
- 1 ½ lb bison top round or flank steak, trimmed of visible fat
For the marinade
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/6 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/12 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp onion powder
Ingredient noteOnion powder can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/12 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid onion powder, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteTrue ceylon cinnamon is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- 1
Place the bison in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid. This makes it much easier to slice thinly and evenly.
- 2
Using a sharp knife, slice the bison against the grain into strips about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. For chewier jerky, slice with the grain; for more tender jerky, slice against it.
