Beef Bacon
« on: April 25, 2018, 03:23:43 PM »
I had never heard of it before.
Saw my local butcher had processed some so I bought some.
I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it may have come from brisket.
Have any of you tried it before?

Heard of it, never had any.  I think some use beef navel, which is also used for corned beef & pastrami.

I will ask the butcher what cut it is from when I see him.
His sister wasn't sure, but said is was cured the same way as their bacon.

Thanks, I will be very interested to learn what cut it is!  Have you looked at the stuff you bought yet?  Is it fat and muscle like pork belly or more just meat?

I have made beef bacon out if chuck roasts. I look for one that has a good amount of fat running through it, as some seem to be quite lean, then I just did the 1 T Tenderquick and 1 T dark brown sugar to a pound, rubbed and into a bag for a week turning several times. Then smoke to your liking, I have cold smoked it but I tend to like the hot smoke to 130 ish. Cool and wrap and slice the next day.

I made some out of London Broil. To lean for actual Bacon but some use it for jerky. I cured like bacon but smoked like a steak. Then put into fridge to cool. I then sliced into thin strips so I could eat like finger steaks. Took on trip with my dad to my brothers house when we delivered his GMG. It did not last long once we opened the package.

It is fat and muscle.
I will try to get some pictures of it when I get it out of the freezer.

The beef bacon is cut from the short ribs.
I still have not cooked it yet. It will probably be Sunday breakfast.

I got it cooked and ate. my wife and I thought it was OK but not as good as pork bacon. It was also kinda tough to chew.

I spoke with a local butcher shop a couple days ago and asked about beef bacon. They make it on occasion and when they do they use brisket.
