Jack Link's Beef Pepperoni Sticks
What it is
This is a cured and dried beef snack product. It is made from seasoned beef that has been processed to create a firm, chewy texture. The pepperoni flavor comes from a blend of spices, including paprika, which gives it a characteristic reddish hue and a mild, savory taste. It is designed for convenient snacking and is often enjoyed on the go.
How people cook with it
These pepperoni sticks are a versatile snack. They can be eaten straight from the package or incorporated into various meals and appetizers.
- Snack on the go

Open the package and enjoy the beef sticks as a standalone snack. For a more substantial experience, they can be sliced and added to sandwiches or wraps, offering a burst of savory flavor and a satisfying chew. They are also a popular addition to appetizer platters, pairing well with cheeses and crackers. When preparing pizzas, these sticks can be scattered over the top before baking, infusing the entire dish with their distinct pepperoni essence. Their firm texture holds up well to heat.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional sliced pepperoni found on pizzas, these beef sticks are a more substantial, individual snack. They offer a firmer bite and a more concentrated flavor profile. The curing and drying process results in a different texture and shelf-stability compared to fresh or refrigerated pepperoni.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion to maintain freshness. Ensure the package is sealed or transferred to an airtight container. This helps preserve the texture and prevents the product from drying out further or absorbing unwanted odors from the refrigerator.
