Dried beef

Has anybody here tried making dried beef? If so how did it turn out?  I was checking out the recipe in the Kutas book. Looks interesting. May be a future project.

I just looked at my copy of the Kutas recipe.  Looks interesting.  I may have to give that a try one of these days.

On the other hand, I have made Bresaola (an Italian version of dried beef) using the Charcuterie kit from UMAI, the drysteakbag.com people.  Sliced deli-thin, it was really well received by all who tasted it.  I would highly recommend this recipe.

Well after thinking about it, the first 10 hrs would be at 100f. I don't think that would keep the bugs out with no smoke. So I am going to wait till it gets cold outside.

I also made bresaola using the UMAI bag and it was given thumbs up by tasters.  Saves some time and fuss over
Making it with casing or hanging to dry.

Well time to start the dried beef! I bought a top round a while back and froze it till I had time to work on it.Top round trimmed up. Cure #1, salt, and dextrose.Into the brine after pumping brine with a needle.I lined the bucket with a food grade plastic bag because the bucket was a pickle bucket.Now 10 days of waiting.

The dried beef is finally done. I think it came out pretty good. I sliced it as thin as possible. Color came out nice.

I went up to Sandmans for restocking my beer and he gave me a nice sample. It looks super and tasted super!!! Best dried beef I have had in a while! Went back to Sandmans for supper. You can't beat his Sunday special, 8 pieces of broasted chicken for $5.99 and for another $3 we had mashed potatoes and gravy!!! Don
