New Mexico beef jerky has become my new favorite. While I have always loved and still DO love Robertsons beef jerky, a recent trip through Albuquerque, New Mexico has given me the chance to try something entirely new and different. New Mexico beef jerky is thin – so think that it crumbles in your mouth. Unlike other beef jerky that is full of gristle and chewiness, the Vigil’s beef jerky from New Mexico has nothing but dried, cured beef that falls apart the moment it hits your tongue. This stuff is magic. While visiting 2 or 3 different travel stops, I had the opportunity to try a few of the different, New Mexico-style brands. They were all very good, but the Vigil’s was my favorite due to its consistency – just the right amount of salt throughout. There is one thing, however, that I think makes New Mexico beef jerky the very best: simplicity. The natural flavor has no extra seasonings – no MSG, nitrites or anything else that would make you question what you are eating. What you taste is 100% natural beef with a tad of salt flavoring. There are no artificial ingredients. This is what real beef jerky should be and used to be back in the days when John Wayne was eating it in the Westerns. And, in case you haven’t clicked on the picture to the left, you probably should know that you don’t have to go all the way to New Mexico to get it. You can order Vigil’s Beef Jerky online.

Best Beef Jerky Recipe
There is a line from an old cowboy movie somewhere in which John Wayne, while riding across the desert on a horse, asks one of the other characters, “Do you want some jerky?” I always imagined that the beef jerky referred to in the movie is the real thing; real jerky. It only makes sense that in order to find that perfect beef jerky recipe or learn how to make beef jerky, we need to agree on what real jerky is like. Robertson’s calls their product, “Real” Beef Jerky.
Robertsons Beef Jerky
I stumbled upon Robertsons beef jerky in my many travels through Oklahoma. It can be found in Loves Gas stations and other road stops in the surrounding areas of Oklahoma. Less commonly, you may be lucky enough to find it in some of the nearby, neighboring states. A large, 1lb container is rather expensive at $20.00, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll never be able to eat another brand of beef jerky, until you’ve mastered your own Beef Jerky Recipe. Actually, the $20.00 price is only available at the gas stops in Oklahoma. If you buy online or at other places in neighboring states, expect to pay $25.00. What makes Robertson’s “real” beef jerky so good? To start with, it is the smoke. Open up a small package or unscrew the lid on a 1lb container, and your nostrils will be filled with an appetizing aroma of smoke – smoke that is reminiscent of the thick, Oklahoma woods in which this tasty stuff is dried, cured, seasoned and produced. Unlike other beef jerky recipes, Robertson’s is fairly thin, dry and rather crisp on the outside, with no visible signs of oil or grease. It is brittle enough to almost snap in your hands, yet durable and chewy enough to keep your teeth busy devouring it. Their beef jerky recipe is so tasty, you will enjoy just licking the outside of a piece before biting into it with your teeth. If you want to know how to make beef jerky or find the best beef jerky recipe, don’t jerk around. You will want to give Robertson’s a try, first.
