Xanthan Gum Free Bison Jerky

Bison jerky is the kind of snack that makes you wonder why you ever settled for the rubbery, over-salted bags at the gas station. Lean, deeply savory, and packed with bold flavor from a marinade built on coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon, this is the real deal. Many commercial jerkies rely on additives and thickeners to achieve their texture, but here the chew comes entirely from the meat itself and how you slice it — with the grain for more pull, against it for something a little more tender. Bison is naturally lean and rich-tasting, and it soaks up this marinade beautifully over a long, slow rest in the fridge. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting, drying the strips down to that perfect bend-without-snap texture without any special equipment beyond a wire rack. Every ingredient in the marinade is clean and straightforward, so you know exactly what you're eating. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll have a protein-packed, fridge-ready snack for the whole week ahead.
