Turned out really good for my little smoker and oven. I might need to invest in a meat slicer. Just using filet knife. Thanks for recipe. I had 9 days in fridge in bag. Then one day with seasoning.


Yup---It's good to have a slicer, because Dried Beef is at it's best when sliced Paper Thin. Any Picture?

Last night I saw the post that Bear had passed. I decided to post here because this was the "Step By Step" that convinced me to try curing my own meats. It was a success and I've never looked back. I dug way back into my smoking "journal" and that was in January of 2016. That Dried Beef is still a household favorite to this day! Gave me the confidence to move on to different bacons, corned beef, pastrami, cold smoked pork chops, ect.
And just damn those Peanut Butter Meltaways.
I never met you but you will be missed my friend.
Thanks Bear!

Yeah, I am getting ready for a smoke this afternoon and was browsing through my "smoking diary" I started years ago as a newbie. All those smokes and recipes and Bearcarver's influence in so many places.
