Beef, it's what's for dinner ...

[CountryGent]

In sort of a parallel to the canned fish thread, why not one devoted to shelf stable beef? Various canned types in all the forms, freeze dried, jerky, pemmican, et al.

What are you stocking and why? Any you now avoid?

Bon appétit!

I make jerky in my smoker on a regular basis.

Other than that, I'd eat a flip-flop before any other "shelf-stable" beef.

Beef? who can afford beef these days. last time I was at safeway, the cheap stuff was close to $10 a lb

I couldn't help but think of this one ... my father-in-law, who is a burger connoisseur, had a canned cheeseburger whilst in Europe and recommended against it. (His words were "worse than horse meat". Since both me and him have consumed said during our lifetimes, yuck faces were made.)

Is that a whole cheeseburger in a can?

Supposedly that is what it is. Though even if available in the States, I don't know what I would stockpile them.

Have you seen a McDonalds kitchen before? Bunch of 15 year olds with can openers. You're lucky if they remember to give it a whirl in the microzapper before they pop the lid and throw it in a box for you.

My grotesque digression to continental shenanigans aside, to answer my own question:

• Canned corned beef. Make sandwiches, tacos, with an egg for breakfast, burritos, etc. with said. Most are Argentinian, Australian, and Brazilian corned beef, in roughly that order.
• Various ground or sliced chunks in cans. Though most aren't the best tasting, they still provide protein, fats, etc.
• Jerky. Both store bought and home made. One of my brothers makes some truly great jerky.
• We used to store pemmican, but haven't in some time.

And likely some others I'm forgetting.

That's about median price per pound for choice beef right now. At retail

Pork has also seen very recent increases, compounded by supply shorts and low quality.

And loaded with salt. You can recharge your phone with your tongue after a can of that stuff!

Can't hack the salt anymore.
I'd be burning through my water supply too fast for the calories to have much value.

Biltong is making a run these days, it's good for you if done correctly and tastes awesome! Lots of places are starting to carry it, but it's spendy! It's also something you can make your self, same as pemican, and both will keep for a while!

Every now and then I buy a sleeve of the cans of Kirkland roast beef from Costco. It goes in the pantry with the emergency cans of corned beef hash (LIbby's or Mary Kitchen). I also buy up the "pounder" bags of Jack Link's beef strips when it's on sale at the base exchanges. All kept for emergency food stocks, although I'll take a can, bag or so with me when I go on road trips or camping.

Lots of places are starting to carry it, but it's spendy!

Where are you guys seeing biltong?

It's become a hipster thing and is all over Amazon.

Canned corned beef cause it can always become hash. Dried beef, in a jar. Great for making creamed dried beef and peas on toast…. Actually stocking more tuna and canned chicken breast. Gotta love Kirkland. And lest not forget things like Deviled Ham and of course Spam…

Eh, no wonder... trying to avoid Amazon. Guess it'll be mainstream when it hits retail stores. Thank you, Naked and Afraid...

Lakeside pork and beef, respectively, "with juices". Pretty awesome. I got some recently at Morrow Brothers Produce for $2 a can.
