Dried Venison

[pc farmer]

We used to get the amish to make dried beef from venison hindquarters. It was great, nice and dry not moist like some others make it. So I started making my own cause it wasnt cheap to have made. I dry cured for 3 weeks. No pics of that, sorry. So I took out of the cure and rinsed. Then netted the hindquarters and the loins I layed on the rack.

Smoker running 180 with cob pellets

The loins I pulled at 12 hours I think and the quarters which was de-boned went 48+. Saturday 1pm in smoker out Monday at 4pm.

In the fridge to chill to today.

Netting removed.

All sliced up.

Before you say it, yes its cured the whole way through. My camera picked up on the smoke ring so the rest of the meat dont look cured. Trust me it was cured. I checked when taking out of the cure. I cut the thick spots open. I have found venison seems to do this for some reason.

Looks fantastic!! Strangely enough I stopped in my local Amish butchers today. A guy was there dripping off a hind quarter for this very reason.

Good job Adam ! I want to try it out this upcoming deer season... I took it to the butcher last season . 20 bucks to have it done. I don't think I could do it to the back straps. I love chopped garlic , butter and a cast iron skillet for the loins.

I used to get my dried venison from a local butcher shop, or "locker". Closed a few years ago, but the owner is still around. He never got the funky colors. I need to get some lessons.

Love creamed chipped gravy over toast or biscuits or mashed taters, or diced fried taters.

No Amish butchers around here, but avoid the products they do offer around here. They expect top dollar.
