My son don't like real hot sticks and me having 6 stomach ulcer's two years ago I'm suppose to keep away from the hot stuff also. Not that I ever did
Any ways I had 6 lbs. of ground beef I needed to do something with and was looking for a mild stick recipe. Not to easy to find as many people seem to load there sticks with every pepper under the sun. So now I made a stick recipe out of pork a few years back and it was very nice but this is beef. Hmmm, lets see just how bad it will be. Made up five lengths of 21 MM brown collagen sticks. So now the recipe I am kind of following says to hang - dry at 35-43° for 12 hours. So the only place I could do this was out in the green house where I know the temps are cool enough now that we are getting cold weather.
After that they will get 4-6 hours of heavy smoke. Bring to IT of 152°
Than they need to dry for 5-7 days 53-64° room temp. My basement will be perfect for this. They should have a 45% weight lose by then. I'll keep you posted as time go on.
