3099 JERKY: Teriyaki Beef Jerky – 50g

The perfect amount of sweet and savoury

Every other 3099 flavour is built on the almost-no-sugar rule. Teriyaki is the one they'll happily admit breaks it, and they're right to — a teriyaki without the brown sugar isn't a teriyaki, it's a disappointment. Victorian grass-fed beef, marinated 24 hours in garlic, ginger, soy and rice wine vinegar.

The flavour

Sweet and glossy on the front, then straight into deep soy umami. Ginger brings a clean, warming lift through the middle, garlic backs it up, and rice wine vinegar keeps the sweetness honest so it never turns into candy. Finishes savoury, which is exactly where a teriyaki should land.

How to enjoy it

• Torn over a ramen or noodle bowl for instant protein and umami.
• Gym bag fuel when you want something that doesn't taste like cardboard.
• Chopped through a fried rice or a slaw.
• The gateway flavour for anyone who reckons they don't like jerky.
• Straight from the pack, which is how most of it goes.

In the pack

Dark, glossy strips of dried grass-fed beef with a tender-but-serious chew. Never frozen, sliced fresh, marinated 24 hours, dried low, then cooled and bagged straight away. 50g.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Victorian grass-fed beef, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, spices.

Dietary: High in protein. No fillers, no artificial colours or flavours, no preservatives, no MSG.

Contains soy, and the soy sauce means gluten is present unless the physical label states otherwise. Always check the physical label.

Questions, answered

What is it made from? Victorian grass-fed beef, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar and spices.

How hot is it? No heat. The warmth here is ginger, not chilli.

Isn't 3099 jerky meant to be sugar-free? Almost all of it is — 3099 call the Teriyaki out as the honest exception, because brown sugar is what makes a teriyaki a teriyaki.

Is it gluten free? Treat it as containing gluten — soy sauce is in the marinade. Always check the physical label.

Where is it made? Made in Melbourne by 3099 Jerky, using 100% Victorian grass-fed beef that's never been frozen.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

The Smuggler's crowd-pleaser — hand this one to the bloke who "doesn't eat jerky" and watch the bag vanish. Sweet, savoury, gone. If it's got you in an umami mood, glaze some wings with a sticky glaze and keep the theme running.
