Chili would be good. Everything could be dried for that.

That's actually the original way chili would have been made. Vaqueros would have access to salted, dried beef, and dried peppers.
I've made pemmican with peppers in it, and rehydrated while camping. It worked out all right. I ended up adding cornmeal so the fat didn't end up like an oil slick on top. I could basically melt it down and dissolve the cornmeal into it before adding water.
I've used it in ramen a few times. Cut into small bits used to flavor some broth.
Also, I just like eating it as part of a meal sometimes. Like with a bagel and fruit.
It's actually used a lot, but probably not in the way you're thinking. Lookup Machaca and Biltong. Two types of dried beef and pork that are regularly used to kick up flavor and texture in different dishes.
I think the issue with putting it soups or stews is going to be the unpredictable salt levels leeching from the jerky. It would probably be easier to get that flavor of shredded and used to finish a dish.
Pipikaula is the Hawaiian equivalent to biltong, and it's really good.
"Meat floss" is a disgusting name in my opinion, but it's the translation of the Asian equivalent of machaca.
Pork floss sounds terrible but it's so good, I can't even figure out why - maybe you have to eat it while young to like it. I don't like cotton candy but that salty sweet meat fluff is delicious.
It's like instant pulled pork
Awesome, machaca looks like it works great with other dried staples like rice and beans too. I'll have to give it a shot, thanks!
Yup. DELICIOUS over plain or spiced rices. Great topping on sauces in Mexican dishes.
No, but I wanna try making the 7-11 Beef Jerky Wellington Josh made on Mythical Kitchen.
