Bear's snack sticks/beef logs and Summer sausage rolled into one

radio · Sep 9, 2014

I have made Bear's Beef snack sticks and his Beef logs before with great results, so decided to get a little wild with the recipes and execution. I slightly modified the snack stick recipe to personal taste, then increased the size of the sticks dramatically to log size and smoked 'em nekkid with no casing

They are about standard summer sausage size and made with 90% lean Beef. While they were fresh off the smoker, I blotted the fat with paper towels to soak up the droplets on the surface.

I couldn't wait for them to cool and just had to have a taste test. MmmmMmmmMmmmMmmmmMmmmmm! Yummy!

Thanks guys. Sorry for the crappy sliced pic.

I took about a pound and a half to the shop with me today and it disappeared real quick!

Thanks Bear

I used your snack stick recipe with a couple minor modifications, but made 'em loaf size for slicing like Summer Sausage. A chunk of cheddar, some crackers and they really hit the spot! After smoking summer sausage, snack sticks and loaves naked, I doubt if I ever use casings again

Yes I see you made your logs bigger than mine (Great idea!!), and you probably added more spices, because my sticks are very mild, but I found my actual "Loaves" (below) are the easiest to make without stuffing, and you probably would like the heat a lot better than my Stick recipe. I'm real glad you like them either way!!! Thanks for the report !!!

I don't like a lot of heat, so actually cut back a bit on the black pepper and Cayenne. I increased the Italian seasoning and Garlic, then added about a teaspoon of Cumin. I'm still looking for just a tad different flavor to add, but not sure what will improve on 'em. Danged good stuff!!!

You'll find it---You're going about it the right way!!

Meanwhile you can eat all your test subjects!!

Looking good radio, have made Bear's snack sticks, beef logs, plus several other of his recipes, and not found a bad one in the bunch.

A full smoker is a happy smoker
