Jerky Stew Recipes

Cowboy Free Range all-natural jerky is a great portable snack – an unbeatable protein source for hiking, camping, coffee breaks, dieting (a welcome change from tuna salad) and school or office lunches. But sometimes, a person just needs a break from all that chewing!

Just for a change, here’s a super-easy idea for a hearty meal for 2, using our healthy, yummy jerky. We’ll present two choices, for kitchen preparation or at a campsite. We’ve featured our Original recipe jerky, but for a different taste, feel free to try Peppered or Teriyaki. Add some Indian Fry Bread on the side, with Huckleberry Honey or Huckleberry Syrup. Enjoy!

Kitchen Jerky Stew

  • 1 – 7 oz. Pkg. Cowboy Free Range Original Buffalo Jerky, in 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium potatoes, washed and diced (leave peels on if you like)
  • 1 medium onion, cut at least in quarters
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • seasoning to taste (add near end of cooking to avoid excess saltiness)

In a large saucepan, cover the jerky pieces with a quart of cold water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

Transfer contents of the saucepan to a crockpot. Add vegetables and water just to cover all. Simmer on highest setting, covered, for 2 hours or until tender. Add water if necessary, in 1 cup increments.

Season to taste just before serving. If other vegetables are desired (stewed tomato, bell pepper, broccoli, corn), add them now and simmer for 20 minutes.

Campfire Jerky Stew

  • 1 – 7 oz. Pkg. Cowboy Free Range Original Buffalo Jerky, in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 large pkg. Dried soup mix, any kind (Soup Starter, Knorr, or the like)

In a large saucepan, cover the jerky pieces with a quart of cold water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes or until jerky is softened.

Add soup mix, stir. Return saucepan to heat, simmer for 30 minutes or until jerky and vegetables are tender. Take care to add water if needed, but not too much. You want all that natural, hearty goodness!
