Ingredients
- Beef jerky 2 oz
- Orange 1 medium
Method
-
Prepare the orange.
Wash the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, peel the orange by cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing off the peel and white pith carefully. Once peeled, slice the orange into thin, round slices or segments for easy eating.
Tip: To remove the white pith easily, slice thinly and try to cut as close to the fruit as possible without losing too much flesh. -
Arrange beef jerky.
Open your package of beef jerky and separate 2 ounces (about a handful) onto a plate. If your jerky pieces are large, you can tear them into smaller bite-sized pieces for convenience.
Tip: If your jerky is very tough, letting it sit for a minute or two can soften it slightly. -
Serve and enjoy.
Place the orange slices alongside the beef jerky on a plate or snack container. This snack is ready to eat immediately and is perfect for on-the-go or a quick energy boost.
Tip: Pair with a glass of water to stay hydrated and balance the saltiness of the jerky.
Pro tips
- Choose lean beef jerky to keep fat content moderate.
- Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best sweetness and juiciness.
