Ingredients

Servings
  • 3500 g beef chuck about 7.7 lbs; 20/80 fat to lean meat
  • 7.5 g salt about 1.5 level tsp, curing salt #1
  • 45 g kosher salt about 2.5 Tbsp
  • 6.5 g black pepper about 2 tsp, ground
  • 6 g granulated garlic about 2 tsp
  • 8 g onion powder about 2 1/2 tsp
  • 42 g Fermento about 6 Tbsp
  • 5 g dextrose about 1 tsp; can be substituted for white sugar
  • 8 g mustard powder about 1 Tbsp
  • 5 g celery seed about 2 tsp

Instructions

  1. Grind the meat through a 3/16" (4.5 mm) grinder plate.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. I find that a stand mixer with a paddle attachment works very well for mixing.
  3. Stuff into 18-24 mm natural or collagen casings.
  4. Tie into 24" rings (24" total length, 12" top to bottom when the ring is formed).
  5. Transfer to the smoker and dry without smoke for 30-45 minutes at 110F, or until dry to touch.
  6. Raise the temperature to 130F and smoke for 2-3 hours or until the desired color is obtained.
  7. Transfer to a large pot with water preheated to 165F. Poach for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 154-158 F.
  8. Shower with cold water for about 5 min, then let cool down and dry.
  9. Cut into 6" sticks.
  10. Store in a refrigerator.
