Texas jerky, and why so little of it is kosher
Texas has a deep jerky tradition, from barbecue joints to roadside stands. Almost none of it is kosher, for the same reasons as everywhere: commodity beef, marinades with Worcestershire or uncertified soy sauce, and shared equipment. Here is why the marinade usually fails.
Finding kosher jerky elsewhere in Texas
- Houston and Dallas have the state's largest kosher communities, with kosher shops and kosher sections in larger supermarkets.
- Austin and San Antonio have smaller kosher options; online ordering is often easier.
- Always check for a hechsher on the finished product. Here is what to check.
Texas heat and dried beef
- Keep sealed bags out of parked cars in summer.
- Gulf Coast humidity softens opened bags fast; reseal and finish within a day or two.
- For a tailgate, here is how to set it out.
