Cranberry Beef Jerky Bites (Paleo, Whole30, AIP)


  • Author: Michelle
  • Total Time: 52 minute
  • Yield: 4-5 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (fresh, and lower fat to allow less moisture)
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (sugar and oil free)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 F degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (two baking sheets may be necessary)
  2. Add the raw ground beef to a large bowl and mix with the coconut aminos, cranberries, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spoon out about 1-2 tsp of the ground beef mixture at a time and form it into small squares. Flatten the bites with your hand to about 1″x1″. You want the bites to be flattened, but not paper thin. Evenly space the bites.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 3-4 hours, flipping the bites at the halfway point. Check on the bites often as the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the jerky bites and your oven. Remove when browned on both sides and internal temperature reaches 160 F. Pat the bites dry of any excess fat.
