Beef bacon

[retiredff]

Does anyone have any good recipes for beef bacon? We purchased a part of a cow and it included the bacon. Any help would be appreciated. Jim

Here you go. Easy and good, Treat the beef bacon like curing a Brisket. You can add any herbs and spices you like to the brine and on the Bacon before smoking...JJ

I made beef bacon with boneless short ribs and it came out quite good. I used Pop's Brine and Bear's method for cooking bacon. Check out this thread:

Now when you say the bacon of the cow do you mean the belly, the plate ribs? Have a picture?

I would like to see a pic too. I am thinking he has a boneless Plate (navel) to use. I have had untrimmed Plate Pastrami it is great if you don't mind slices that are 50/50 Fat to Lean...JJ

Yeah, when I was starting the beef bacon and had some questions some members of the forum recommended boneless plate. Haha I don't mind 50-50 on occasion. You only live once haha. They always say pork fat rules. Beef fat ain't too shabby either!
