Took me first shot a making dogs because I was making sausage and had some leftover beef.
Long story short; They came out dry and firm. More like Summer Sausage than hot dogs.
I used top round beef, which was pretty lean.
Taste good, pretty to look at. But mouthfeel was bad for me.
Question:
Too little fat?
Too long cooking (pulled them at 160°)
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds beef
1/2 cup ice water
22 grams (1 Tbs.) salt
20 gram (1/4 cup) skim dry milk
7 1/2 gram (2 1/2 tsp.) garlic powder
5 gram (2 tsp.) paprika, mild
3 gram (1/2 tsp) cure #1
1 1/4 gram (1tsp.) white pepper
1 gram (1/2 tsp.) coriander
1 gram (1 tsp.) mace
3/4 gram (1/2 tsp.) ginger
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
