Bison jerky hits differently than the store-bought stuff ā leaner, richer, and with none of the mystery additives that make label-reading such a chore. This marinade leans on coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a warm blend of garlic, ginger, turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon to build layers of savory, slightly sweet flavor that soak deep into every strip. A long marinade ā anywhere from 8 to 24 hours ā does the heavy lifting, so by the time the meat hits the oven, it's already packed with flavor. The low-and-slow oven method at 175°F gives you total control over texture, whether you prefer a chewier bite or something a little more tender depending on how you slice against the grain. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole-food-based, there's no need to second-guess what's in it ā no fillers, no hidden extras, just clean, bold jerky you made yourself. It stores beautifully in the fridge for up to two weeks or the freezer for up to three months, making it a genuinely great option to batch-cook for snacking on the go.

Place the bison in the freezer for 30ā45 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid. This makes it much easier to slice thinly and evenly.
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.
