    I sure do miss my steelhead season. Nothing like it I have found in Texas. Looks good 👍

    Burning question of the day .... beef ribs vrs brisket ?

    I think the best ribs were side ribs my grandpa used to cut when he butchered. He would leave all the side meat on them. Unfortunately if you want decent ribs nowadays you must pay through the nose. I do love beef ribs of all kinds but for the price I would go with a brisket for sure. Now that...

    Cast iron pan or steel griddle

    I tend to run mine on medium high and wait for the oil the start smoking before I slap the room temp steaks on. I hope this helps. I have a gas stove so that may make a difference.

    Another Beef Bacon

    You are most welcome. I did let this one cure for 10 days this time and the flavor it produced has been a huge difference, at least I think so, I am thinking of pushing my next one out to 14 days to see if that is the true sweet spot or not lol. I also no longer do heavy trimming and instead...

    Another Beef Bacon

    It is one of my favorites, the first ones I ever made were from flats and they were amazing as well. If you make some let me know what you think.

    Cast iron pan or steel griddle

    what chopsaw said is the way i do it (I tend to add oil and heat until smoking before searing my steaks). Crank the heat up to 500 on the oven. I will put a steak in for about 6 minutes at 500 for medium rare myself but i have found it can vary oven to oven. I have found that SS skillets don't...

    grill gloves for food.

    Cotton gloves with a good pair of thick nitrile gloves, food grade of course. That is my preferred method anyway.

    Another Beef Bacon

    It is actually a whole packer, it just has a small point. I use whole packers to do my beef bacon, cheaper then the beef plate.

    Another Beef Bacon

    I slice it up and then fry it just like bacon. This is cured with a salt, sugar and cure #1. Hot smoked at 250 until it 150. I am planning on corning a pastrami next though. 😀

    Well ran out of the last beef bacon and decided it was time to make some more. Enjoy the pics. It is currently cooling before it goes in the fridge to rest. Cooked to IT of 150 and smoked with pecan wood. Black pepper, roasted garlic powder, paprika with olive oil binder. Cured 10 days. 7.5...

    First Beef Bacon and Pastrami

    Sorry it took so long to see this. 1.5% salt is the lowest amount you can use for curing according to the research i did. I don't like my stuff overly salty so i went with the lower percentage.
