Based on his great-grandfather's old-world recipes Jack Link and his sons started with a premium slice of beef. They seasoned it with that special blend of great-grandpa's Original seasonings and slow smoked it over hardwoods. And it was good. Really good. Being nice guys, Jack and his sons shared it. Friends, neighbors, strangers, they couldn't get enough. And the rest, as they say, is history. * * MADE WITH 100% BEEF: Our Original Beef Steak starts with carefully selected lean cuts of 100% premium beef.
