The Prather Ranch Beef Sticks sold by my local farmers’ market always disappear in one efficient snacking swoop. Man, they are good. Sort of like an upscale beef jerky, they have a little skin on the outside and are meaty, chewy, and soft on the inside. They cost $7 for six sticks and come in original or teriyaki flavor. Unfortunately the Beef Sticks are only sold at Bay Area farmers’ markets, but you can still get your hands on Prather Ranch’s organic, pasture-raised beef cuts here.
These aren’t at all like an upscale beef jerky, rather they are like a high-end SlimJim.
I made real beef jerky about 30 years ago. It was quite good. As for Prather Ranch Beef Sticks…yea they might not be “real” but they are damn good and my daughter LOVES them!
