Find my jerkyElk jerky vs venison and beef jerky: whatβs the difference?
Elk, venison and beef all make great jerky. The difference is mostly flavor. Beef is rich and familiar. Elk is close to beef, with a clean taste and a light game note. Venison, from deer, is a little earthier. Every kind of jerky shrinks a lot while drying, since meat loses about 55-80% of its weight as it becomes jerky.
Canβt decide? Try them side by side with our Original Venison Jerky and best-selling Original Beef Jerky. Read more in our venison jerky guide or the Exotic Jerky Guide.
