A culinary adaptation, this method involves transforming thin slices of beef into a dehydrated, shelf-stable snack, while adhering to the dietary constraints of a ketogenic diet. Typically, it emphasizes high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low carbohydrate intake. An example includes marinating flank steak in soy sauce, liquid smoke, and erythritol before slow dehydration.
This approach offers a convenient, protein-rich food source for individuals pursuing a ketogenic lifestyle. It allows for control over ingredients, eliminating added sugars and unhealthy preservatives often found in commercially produced versions. Historically, meat preservation through drying has been practiced for centuries, with this adaptation tailoring the process to modern dietary needs.
