Indiana Steak Bar Original

Indiana Steak Bar Original: a 20 g beef bar you can eat one-handed

Indiana Steak Bar Original is beef shaped into a single soft bar rather than sliced into jerky strips. It is mostly meat, it is high in protein, and it is the one product in the Indiana range you can get through while driving, walking or holding a phone, which turns out to be most of the times anyone actually wants a snack.

Why this one

• No chewing project: the bar is soft the whole way through, so it disappears in four or five bites instead of ten minutes.
• One-handed by design: no bag to hold open, no strips to fish out, nothing to put down.
• High in protein for its size: a small bar that eats like a proper stopgap rather than a mouthful.
• Indestructible in a bag: it will survive a week at the bottom of a rucksack and come out exactly as it went in.

How Indiana makes it

Beef is seasoned with sea salt and a spice blend, formed into one bar and dried, then wrapped individually and sealed so it keeps at room temperature. There is no cooling involved at any stage. Once you have unwrapped a bar, Indiana's advice is simply to eat it, which is not a demanding instruction given there is one bar in the wrapper.

Taste and texture

Straightforwardly savoury and gently spiced, with a clean beef flavour that does not try to be clever. The texture is the real difference: dense but soft, more like a firm cured sausage than dried meat, with no dry edges and none of the greasiness a supermarket meat stick usually brings. It is the mildest-tasting thing Indiana makes in beef, which is exactly what you want at seven in the morning.

Who it is for

Commutes, training sessions and the twenty minutes between finishing one thing and starting another. Keep a handful in the top drawer at work and in the side pocket of the gym bag, and you stop making bad decisions at vending machines. Buying the twenty-bar box is the sensible move if you already know this about yourself.

Frequently asked

Is it jerky? Not quite. Jerky is sliced and dried; this is beef formed into a bar, so it is softer and easier to eat quickly.

Does it need a fridge? No. Sealed, it sits happily at room temperature, which is the entire point of the format.

Can I keep half for later? You can, but it is a single 20 g bar and Indiana would rather you did not. Eat it, then open another.
