Augason Farms Freeze Dried Precooked Beef Steak Dices Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 13 Servings

Good price.Lasts a long time.Tastes great.What more do you want?

This is a great value for the money. Nice to have and camping situations

I just received my first can and tried it by covering a quarter-cup of the little beef cubes with boiling water & waiting 5 minutes.I'm very happy with it! I thought it tasted fine. You know -- it does not magically turn into a sizzling t-bone steak, but this stuff would be really good to have in a serious emergency situation.If this stuff can really last for many years while sealed in the can, this is a Big Deal.Now I plan to try another serving every few days and see how it survives now that the can has been opened.In addition to lasting a long time with the can sealed, it would also be nice if it lasts a decent amount of time after the can has been opened.I will come back here and give updates.

The package came fast. Opening the container settling it looked like a quarter of a can. This is not chunks. As in stew meat chunks. It is very small. Just like the pieces of beef in a cup of soup. My mistake. The flavor is fine for freeze dried. Salty of course. Best to add a unsalted beef broth to it. To reconstitute. Fine for soups. Other then that not worth it.

I have purchased many Augason Farm products and consider them the go-to products for carnivores or people on low-carb or ketogenic needs. I hope I don't have to open or trade this product. I'm happy to have found it.

I have been ordering long term food storage items from Augason Farms for quite a few years, I have never been disappointed. I use them in my camping menu,and they work out great.

Product was as described

I ordered this once before and it was great, but latest one came in a can whose lid hadn't been put on properly: the "lip" where the lid meets the body of the can was too deep, so the can opener couldn't "reach" the can itself to cut into it at all points. Where it could reach it sliced through evenly, but some parts it couldn't reach at all (IE it's not that the blade is dull). After two passes the same spots were still uncut, and the "cut" parts were making new metal shavings that were falling into the food, so even if I get the lid off another way I get the metal shavings out how?I reached out to the manufacturer since Amazon says I can't return this, and customer service emailed back that they have "very high quality cans" and I should go buy this one specific can opener. For one, how safe is your emergency supply of food if it requires a specific can opener? Second -- again -- it's not that the blade can't cut through the can, it's that the blade can't reach the can because the lip is wider than it should be. That's not about quality, that's about dimensions. So now I have almost $100 down the drain because the current cost of beef is so high and couldn't access this easy protein source during our power outage. Glad I hadn't bought more than one can and that this wasn't a more extended serious emergency! I'll use another brand to do my emergency stock from now on.
