Pemmican is the ultimate food storage and preservation method. It historically doesn't need refrigeration

Equal Parts (by weight):

  • Fully dehydrated zero fat meat
  • Rendered fat

1lb pemmican has 1636.8 calories

Any lean meat can be used, from any animal.

The key to its longevity is zero moisture! Some people add small berries, nuts, and salt.. but the more things you add the shorter the shelf life

The USDA says these are the leanest cuts:

  • Eye of round roast and steak.
  • Round tip roast and steak.
  • Top round roast and steak.
  • Bottom round roast and steak.
  • Top sirloin steak.
  • Top loin steak.
  • Chuck shoulder and arm roasts.

But you should cut off all the fat as your slicing the small slices, you can make any cut work you just might have to spend more time removing fat. Grass fed beef will be better here, grain fed beef gets the intramuscular fat (marbling)

I would recommend only making a tiny bit of pemmican the first time, trying the taste, then deciding if you want to add salt, spices, etc. People say its a very acquired taste.

Thanks, luckily my local butcher only sells grass finished beef, I'll start with half a kilo - maybe I'll start with whatever will fit in my dehydrator (which is capable of working under 60°C, I bought it for working with brewers yeast)
