Vietnamese Beef Jerky

Vietnamese Beef Jerky is a shelf-stable, preserved meat snack made by marinating and drying strips of beef; it appears in many cuisines (for example Vietnamese 'Bò khô') and is commonly eaten as a protein-rich travel or snack food. Nutritionally it is notable as a concentrated source of protein, providing about 33g of protein per 100g, along with vitamin B12 and selenium that support energy metabolism and antioxidant protection. Because jerky is a dried, processed product it tends to be low in fiber and relatively high in salt and saturated fat compared with fresh lean meats, but it remains a convenient high-quality protein option when consumed in moderation.
