Naked Cow Beef Jerky – Fire 100% Grass-fed Beef Jerky

Tuesday, May 9, 2017 Leave a Comment

Naked Cow Beef Jerky - Fire 100% Grass-fed Beef JerkyThe next review on Naked Cow Beef Jerky will be on a 2.25 ounce/64 gram bag of their fire flavored 100% grass-fed beef jerky. This flavor is advertised as using their basic recipe, adding cayenne, habanero, and ghost chili peppers that really brings the heat. The bag was kindly submitted by one of the co-owners, Ron Myrick.

This Naked Cow Beef Jerky brand name is distributed by Appalachian Jerky Co., and made in Brighton, Massachusetts. It started in the late 1990’s, where 2jerkys Ron Myrick and Doug Labb started making jerky for their camping and canoe trips. In 2013, after Ron decided to eat a more Paleo-friendly diet, they developed a variety of Appalachian Jerky called Primal Smoke, which eliminated the use of unhealthy ingredients, and became a hit with CrossFit gyms. Working with students from Northeastern University, the Naked Cow Beef Jerky brand name was introduced in September 2015 using only natural ingredients, and made in a paleo style.

Ingredient Review

Ingredients: Grass Fed Beef, Sea Salt, Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Habanero Pepper, Ghost Chili Pepper, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Beet Powder, Celery Powder.

Naked Cow Beef Jerky - Fire 100% Grass-fed Beef JerkyThis jerky uses 100% grass-fed beef, the way nature intended. These cattle are raised ethically, meaning they are not fed growth hormones, or additional antibiotics. There is also some free range access for the cattle to roam about.

Naked Cow Beef Jerky - Fire 100% Grass-fed Beef JerkyThere is no liquid marinade used here. You could call this a dry rub, or old fashioned jerky.

Healthy spices are used such as black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Beet powder is an interesting choice, where the vegetable beets is very healthy.

The heat is achieved from healthy cayenne pepper. Habanero pepper and ghost chili pepper are extremely hot, and should be eaten in moderation.

The sugar level is perfect with no sugar used at all. The salt level is respectable at 580mg of salt per 64 grams of jerky, plus it is healthy sea salt.

This jerky does qualify to have no sodium nitrite, or any other similar unhealthy preservatives. Instead, the main preservative used is sea salt, which is high on minerals and trace minerals. To a lesser extent, celery powder is used as a preservative with its naturally occurring nitrates. Admirably, there is no MSG added.

Excellent (10/10) – Ingredient Rating

Taste Review

These strips are small to medium in size, and the thickness varies. There is a dry texture that is still within reason to chew. There are no signs of fat, and handling these strips of jerky leaves no oily residue on your fingers.

No single flavor jumps out at first, just a fine blend of spices. At light levels are the salt, black pepper, and garlic. With no sweetness at all, there is a great level of natural beef flavor. In the background there is a pleasant light level of smokiness.

There is some heat in this flavor, both from the cayenne pepper and ghost/habanero peppers. While the ghost and habanero peppers taste great, and burn your mouth, it’s not all that spicy for a flavor named Fire. On a heat scale, the spiciness would rate a 2 out of 4, or a 3 out of 5. Overall, a very tasty flavor that is surprisingly addictive.

A 2.25 ounce/64 gram bag sells online for $6.99. That works out to $3.10 an ounce, which rates as an expensive price, but not so bad for 100% grass-fed beef. This flavor is surely recommended for a spicy paleo style of jerky.

Excellent (10/10) – Taste Rating

Bag Review

This clear, non-resealable plastic bag has a label affixed to the front, and nothing on the back. Their logo is a cow with the brand name “Naked Cow”, and below is their slogan: “Just Beef Jerky – No Udder Stuff”.

Some facts printed on this bag are “No Added MSG”, “No Sugar Added”, “No Added Nitrites”, “Refrigerate After Opening”, and “Minimally Processed”.

The only missing bag categories are a blurb printed about the jerky or flavor, and the jerky weight not stated in grams.

Decent (7/10) – Bag Rating
