I dont know if many people even heard or made this.

In Pa, the Amish make some great dried beef.  Bear knows what I am talkin about.

We always sent venison hind quarters to them and they would cure and dry them for a huge amount of money.

So here I am trying my hand at it.

I got a doe over the weekend and kept the hind quarters for this project.

Cleaned them up and cut into 6 pieces.



1/2 oz of TQ per lb and 2 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar in each one.

Thickest piece is 3 inch's so 12 days curing.


Along with this.

Gonna pull in 12 days and soak in water for a bit then smoke and dry it.

The best part of smoking is the great food. The worst part is the wait. The best part of SMF, innovation like this. Waiting for the end product, Adam.
