I was eating beef jerky when I chipped my tooth a few weeks ago.
Granted the tooth has been fixed a few times and this was another episode in this tooth’s saga.
But it had me rethinking my food choices.
I’m asked all the time about the best high-protein snacks, the ones that actually taste good, travel well, and don’t leave you gnawing on something that feels like a leather shoe.
And honestly… a few weeks ago when I chipped my tooth on beef jerky, I’d had it.
I was officially done with the typical, tough, dried-out jerky we’ve all tried to love.
Right around that same time, I was introduced to Joburg Meats, and everything changed.
I’ve always had a high respect for kosher products.
The standards, the care, the sourcing and when Jon from Joburg reached out asking to come on the podcast to talk about biltong (South African-style steak slices), I was genuinely intrigued.
And once I tried their truffle steak slices? I was hooked!
In this week’s episode of the Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with Jon Engelson and Joe from Joburg Meats to dive into what makes their products different and better than your average beef jerky options.
If you’re looking for clean, convenient, high-protein snacks that don’t destroy your jaw (or your dental work), you’re going to love this conversation.
Here’s what we dive into:
• Why Joburg’s steak slices are a healthier, tender alternative to jerky
• The real difference between biltong and traditional jerky
• How their drying process keeps the meat soft without junk additives
• Why grass-fed, pasture-raised sourcing matters for your hormones & energy
• The role of kosher practices in humane treatment and food quality
• Their commitment to clean ingredients and minimal processing
• Fun flavor developments like black truffle and mango habanero
• Why investing in high-quality protein is one of the best things you can do for your health
If you’ve been looking for better on-the-go protein options and something you can toss in your purse, gym bag, carry-on, or car, Joberg steak slices are worth a try.
