Ingredient Review
Ingredients: Grass-Fed Angus Beef, Sugars (Pineapple Juice Concentrate), Water, Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Cultured Celery Powder, Crushed Red Pepper, Jalapeno Powder, Dried Garlic, Natural Smoke.
Grass-fed beef is used here from a ranch in Wyoming. 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. As a result, the ingredient rating starts at Excellent (10/10).
The liquid marinade is comprised of only healthy pineapple juice concentrate and water.
Some healthy ingredients added are black pepper, crushed red chili peppers, jalapeno powder, and dried garlic. Some people call black pepper the King of Spices.
The sugar level is acceptable at 2 grams of sugar per 28 grams of jerky. The salt level is high at 470mg of salt per 28 grams of jerky. However, the salt level is ignored because healthy, minimally processed sea salt is used instead of heavily processed table salt.
This jerky does qualify to have no sodium nitrite or other similar unhealthy preservatives. Instead, the main preservative used is sea salt. Admirably, there is no MSG added.
Excellent (10/10) – Ingredient Rating

WYOMING AUTHENTIC – PEPPERED BEEF JERKY
Written by guest jerky reviewer Paul Rekker
When I open the bag I smell very little. The strips are medium in size, and they are sliced to a medium thickness. The jerky is large in size and rigid, so no oily residue is left on your fingers.
When I bite into the jerky I taste salt at a decent level, next to no sweet, garlic, onion, and a delectable amount of pepper. I am severely enjoying this flavor, it is delicious. I can find nothing wrong with this jerky, so a 10/10 is my assessment.
Here is what Mark had to say about this Peppered beef jerky flavor from Wyoming Authentic: “Thanks Paul for the honest taste review. It is hard to disagree with you here. First, I love the texture. While dry, it is still easy to chew. Second, the natural beef flavor is spot on and delightful. Third, the overall taste profile is well balanced, where no single flavor stands out.”
“I would not say the peppered level is bold, but it is noticeable nonetheless. This jerky comes across as old fashioned, just the way jerky should be. A unanimous Excellent (10/10) taste rating will be awarded. A very enthusiastic two thumbs up!!👍👍”
Three 3 ounce/85 gram bags of jerky sold online for $13.49, which equates to $4.50 an ounce. That rates as an expensive price.

Bag Review
This clear, plastic resealable bag has a label affixed to the front and nothing on the back. There is a picture of cattle grazing on grass with mountains in the background.
There are no slogans printed on this bag. Some facts printed are “Beef Used Has No Added Hormones or Antibiotics”, “All Natural”, “Made with Grass-Fed Beef”, “Beef Used is Locally Sourced from Wyoming Ranches”, “No Nitrites or Nitrates Added”, Gluten-Free”, “No MSG”, “Smoked Naturally with Hickory Chips”, “Product of USA”, “Minimally Processed”, and “No Artificial Ingredients”.
The only missing bag category is a blurb about the flavor or jerky. While this is a product of the USA, being sold in Canada, French translations are provided.
