Do you crave bacon but are not a huge fan of pork? Do you want to try something different for your next bacon, maybe something with less fat and a slightly different flavour? If you’re looking for something different from your everyday pork bacon, it’s time we told you about beef bacon. It’s exactly what it sounds like: cured and smoked beef sliced into strips just like thick-cut pork bacon. It’s leaner, firmer, and has almost a brisket-like flavour. This bacon is salty, smoky, sweet, and delicious. It’s so good that we really should stop comparing it to pork bacon - it’s great in its own right!

COOKING TIP: Beef bacon cooks pretty much the same as its pork counterpart. Cook on a skillet or in the oven. Whatever you do just be sure to not overcrowd the pan, no overlapping, and to drain excess grease off after.
