Directions
- 1Cook 2 pounds of ground beef.
- 2Strain the excess fat from the ground beef; it needs to be very lean to get crispy meat.
- 3Put the cooked ground beef in the oven to dehydrate at 350 Fahrenheit (or 300 F as per description) for about 4 hours, sticking a wooden spoon in the oven for proper circulation.
- 4Grind the dehydrated meat with a food processor until small and crumbly.
- 5Put the ground beef into a glass baking dish.
- 6Melt your grass-fed and finished tallow.
- 7Add 5 teaspoons of raw honey and a hefty pinch of mineral salt to the melted tallow, tasting as you go.
- 8Pour the honey, tallow, and salt mixture over the crispy beef.
- 9Use a wooden spoon to ensure all the beef is submerged well under the tallow.
- 10Add dehydrated strawberries (or other freeze-dried fruit) if desired.
- 11Let them sit in the fridge for a few hours until they get hard.
- 12Cut and wrap each bar individually with parchment paper and tie it with a little bow.

Tips

- The homemade bars are not 100% shelf stable due to a little moisture in the beef.
- These bars are good for travel.
