Pastrami Slim Jims

BGKYSmoker · Jan 24, 2011

On the 20th i made some pastrami mix for 3 lb batch of sticks.

My dry ingredients.

Mixed into 3/4 cup water.

Mixed into meat by hand.

Into a zip lock bag. Try to remove as much air as you can. Now fridge this 3-4 days.....Or longer if you can hold out...HAHA

This morning i took the bag out to do the slim jims. Let this stand and get close to room temp....No ya aint going to get sick.

This recipe is for 3 lbs of meat. If you make a larger batch just adjust to your taste.

1 1/4 Tbs mortons TQ Or 1/2 tsp cure #1

1/2 Tbs salt per lb of meat. 1 1/2 Tbs for this batch, you can adjust if you use the TQ

2 Tbs SPC....Soy Protein Concentrate.

1/2 cup water

1 Tbs light or dark brown sugar

1 1/2 Tbs ground black pepper

1 Tbs coriander seed

1 Tbs ground coriander

1 Tbs garlic powder

17-19mm colagen casings

Got the pastrami sticks done and on a 2 hour bloom. Will cut later and do a couple day fridge rest so the flavor can marry.

BGKYSmoker · Jan 24, 2011

Done on the bloom, cut and ready for the paper bag.

I wonder... how do you think they would turn out if you didn't stuff them... used a jerky gun and smoked them flat on racks instead of hanging...

just wondering?

I think they would turn out just fine.

Got the sticks done and in a couple vac bags. They are going to a friend in Montana.

Some slices for snacking.
