Did you Know You Can Pressure Can Roast Beef? Here’s How …
After a long day on our southern Missouri homestead, there’s nothing like pulling a jar of tender roast beef from the shelf for a quick, comforting meal.
Pressure canning roast beef is easier than you think, and our YouTube video shows you how to do it, step-by-step, so you can enjoy flavorful beef any time.
Why Can Roast Beef?
Pressure canning roast beef is a game-changer for busy days or when you want a meal without starting from scratch. It locks in flavor and nutrition, giving you shelf-stable beef ready for stews, sandwiches, or tacos. Canning your own meat saves money, reduces waste, and lets you control the ingredients—no preservatives needed. At the farmstead, it’s a practical way to prepare for hearty meals all year round.

Prep Simply: Cube the beef and pack jars tightly, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add salt or broth for flavor.
Pressure Can Safely: Process pint jars for 75 minutes or quarts for 90 minutes at 10 PSI (adjust for altitude).
Check Seals: Ensure lids pop down after cooling to confirm a safe seal.
