Mingua Beef Jerky - Teriyaki

Next up in the series on Mingua Beef Jerky is this Teriyaki variety. See my other reviews of their Cajun Style, Hot, and Mild varieties.

Mingua Beef Jerky is based in Paris, KY, founded by Ronnie Mingua (pronounced Ming-Ghee). One late night, Ronnie, a tobacco farmer, bought a Ronco food dehydrator after watching one of those late-night infomercials. A year later, he perfected a recipe and soon started selling jerky all over the State of Kentucky.

Eventually he and his brother built a USDA approved facility and designed their own meat dehydrators, and expanded production. Now, the Minguas rely on beef jerky sales to keep the family going, and are selling it to stores all across the eastern USA.

Mingua Beef Jerky is made without preservatives and no nitrites.

Jerky Gold Marinade

Jerky Gold Marinade is a brand of Jerky Gold Marinade Company, LLC based out of Endwell, NY. It's the creation of Matthew Parkes, using a marinade recipe his father perfected decades ago.

The marinade recipe was originally shared with his father's co-workers, all of whom had been avid hunters. He began selling the marinade as "R.C. Parks Authentic Jerky Juice", and had distributed it through sporting retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Cabela’s.

His son Matthew eventually took over the business. Now as "Jerky Gold Marinade", Parkes offers his father's famous recipe to hunters and anyone else wants to make their own jerky at home.
