Lorissa’s Kitchen (USA) – Korean Barbecue 100% Grass-Fed Beef Jerky

Monday, June 5, 2017 2 Comments

Lorissa's Kitchen - Korean Barbecue 100% Grass-Fed Beef JerkyThe first review for Lorissa’s Kitchen will be on a 2.25 ounce/63 gram bag of their Korean Barbecue flavored 100% grass-fed beef jerky. This flavor is described as a perfect blend of caramelized brown sugar, soy sauce, earthy white onion, and hints of garlic. The bag was purchased at a Shoprite store in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.

This Lorissa’s Kitchen brand name is distributed under the same name of Lorissa’s Kitchen , and is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In February 2016, this Lorissa’s Kitchen brand was launched. There is a real person named Lorissa, who was looking for a healthy snack that she could take anywhere. This private label company, who shall remain unidentified, created this Lorissa’s Kitchen jerky brand name for Lorissa’s purposes. Their jerky is advertised as having more moisture, and as a result, a more soft & tender texture. Today, this brand is available for sale in both the USA and Canada, which curiously have different ingredients lists.

Ingredient Review

Ingredients: Beef, Cane Sugar, Beef Broth, Less Than 2%: Sesame Seeds, Sea Salt, Water, Yeast Extract, Black Pepper, Ginger, Red Pepper, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar), Natural Flavor, Sesame Seed Oil, Pineapple Juice.    Allergen Warnings: Soy, Sesame

Lorissa's Kitchen - Korean Barbecue 100% Grass-Fed Beef Jerky100% grass-fed beef imported from New Zealand is used here. 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.

Lorissa's Kitchen - Korean Barbecue 100% Grass-Fed Beef JerkyThe liquid marinade consists of healthy beef broth, an alright tamari soy sauce, water, healthy sesame seed oil, and pineapple juice. Beef broth is quite healthy, containing many essential minerals and trace minerals from the boiled bones. Sesame seed oil offers a wide range of health benefits, but is an allergen to some people.

Lorissa's Kitchen - Korean Barbecue 100% Grass-Fed Beef JerkySome healthy ingredients used are black pepper, ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper. People sometimes call black pepper the King of Spices.

The sugar level is somewhat high at 6 grams of sugar per 28 grams of jerky. For a sweet based flavor as we have here, our preference is 5 grams of sugar or less. The salt level is 400mg of salt per 28 grams of jerky, where our preference is 350g of salt or less. However, minimally processed sea salt is used, where salt levels are ignored.

This jerky does qualify to have no sodium nitrite. Instead, sea salt is the main preservative used. Admirably, this jerky does qualify to have no MSG added.

Very Good (9/10) – Ingredient Rating

Taste Review

These strips of jerky are small in size, and sliced to a medium thickness. The texture is somewhat soft & tender, which results in strips that are fairly easy to chew. There are little signs of fat present, and handling this jerky leaves no oily residue on your fingers.

No single flavor jumps out at first. There are light levels of soy sauce and black pepper. A moderate level of sweetness is present, which is arguably a bit too sweet tasting.

More than anything, the beef has a processed flavor that tends to mute all of the other flavors. Some flavors challenging to detect are the sesame, garlic, onion, and smokiness. Overall, where this jerky does a reasonably good job in capturing the essence of a Korean Barbecue flavor, it comes across as flat and nondescript tasting.

This 3 ounce/85 gram bag cost $8.49, which works out to $3.78 an ounce. That rates as a fairly expensive price. This jerky is recommended from an health perspective, and if you would enjoy a Korean Barbecue flavor that is not bold tasting.

Decent (7/10) – Taste Rating

Bag Review

This resealable plastic bag has everything imprinted on the bag itself, both on the front and back. A high resolution picture of jerky with sesame seeds, green onions, and tamari soy sauce is displayed in the background. The Lorissa’s Kitchen logo has a fork as the letter ‘i’ in Kitchen.

There are no slogans displayed. Some facts provided are “Made With 100% Grass-Fed Beef”, “Gluten Free”, “11g Protein Per Serving”, “No Added MSG”, “No Preservatives”, “Beef Raised Without Added Growth Hormones”, “Premium Steak Strips”, “Seasoned & Smoked Beef”, “New”, and “Made With Sea Salt”.

All bag categories are covered with this bag. Good blurbs are printed on the back about Lorissa’s Kitchen, and this Korean Barbecue flavor.

    Will Sam’s Club or COSTCO be carrying your product in the future. I purchased a bag at Sam’s Club here in AZ, but they no longer have the product. I purchased a bag of the 6-1oz packages of Korean Barbeque jerky. Your product is tender and delicious. Just what my husband and I would like to purchase and have in our lunch bags each week.
