I've been trying to find something that I can take in the car or on a trip that is high protein and won't melt like a protein bar and think I've found the answer...Beef Jerky! I found this
low carb recipe and I'm going to try it later this week.
3lbs lean round steak (all fat and silver skin removed)
Marinade:
4tbls Sea Salt
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic
1tsp chili powder
1tsp pepper
1tsp cayenne
3 dashes liquid smoke
1/2 cup water
mix the spices and the smoke and water let sit
Slice the beef in 1/4 inch thick slices
Pour marinade over the meat and mix it up. Make sure it is all covered evenly. Let marinate at least 1 hour
Put it on the very lowest oven temperature (175-200), lay the jerky out on a rack set over a pan to catch the drips, and bake it for 3-4 hours until it's fully dried.
Alternate marinade (have to check carb count in these items)
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt (Lowry's, etc).
t tsp liquid smoke
