Wild West Steak Strips Original

Wild West Steak Strips Original – cut thick, for people who think jerky gives up too easily

Wild West Steak Strips Original is beef jerky cut closer to whole steak than to the thin slices most bags contain. The cure is the familiar Wild West house profile — demerara, cider vinegar and pineapple, sweet-savoury and British-made — but the format is the point. Thicker meat means more chew, more beef character and a piece that actually registers as food.

Why this one

• A thicker cut: closer to a dried steak than to the slices in a standard jerky bag, so each piece takes real time to get through.
• Marinated, smoked and cooked, rather than simply dried. That extra step is what gives the strips their rounder, cooked-meat character.
• High in protein: a small bag that behaves like a proper stop rather than a nibble.
• Two sizes: 25 g and 60 g bags, plus sixteen-pack cases.

How Wild West makes it

Wild West is a British jerky brand producing in the UK. For the Steak Strips the beef is cut thick before it goes anywhere near the cure, which changes everything downstream: the marinade has further to travel into the meat, the smoking and cooking stage matters more, and the finished strip stays denser than a thin slice ever could.

Taste and texture

The sweet-savoury cure is recognisably Wild West, but with more meat underneath it the balance shifts — beef leads and the sugar follows, which is the reverse of the standard Original. Texture is where it really separates: dense, meaty and slow, with a firm tear rather than a soft one. You will not absent-mindedly finish a bag of these.

Who it is for

People who have decided that ordinary jerky is too easy to chew. Hikers who want one strip to genuinely close the gap until dinner. Anyone looking for something halfway between dried meat and a steak, in a bag that does not need a fridge to get there.

Frequently asked

Why does the bag say to eat it within three days of opening? Because a thicker, moister strip does not sit around as comfortably as thin jerky. Once it is open, treat it like a short-term plan rather than a pantry staple.

How is this different from Wild West Original? Same brand, same flavour family, different cut. Original is thin and pliable. These are thick and properly chewy.

Is there a sweeter version? Yes. Wild West Steak Strips Honey BBQ takes the same thick cut and runs the barbecue cure over it.
