Whole-cut beef
We start with whole cuts of 100% grass-fed beef, selected for our premium grass-fed line.
02
Sliced paper-thin
Each cut is carefully trimmed and hand-sliced thin to create carne seca's signature light, crispy texture.
03
Seasoned
The beef is seasoned with a short list of organic ingredients inspired by our northern Mexican family recipe.
04
Dried until crispy
Slow-dried until it is crispy, not thick or chewy. That unmistakable crunch is what makes it carne seca.
