Beef bacon? Yes, the best!
Smoked Beef Bacon 🥓 🔥
Who doesn’t love #bacon ? I’m sure you do, but did you know that bacon can be made from beef too? The beef belly, full of fat is the perfect part to use to make bacon. But, anyone know why most of us are only used to eat it from pork?
Of course; it’s cheaper...Anyway let’s jump to the recipe. Note that the curing ingredients are calculated in ratios. Visit my website or send me a message if you need help with your quantities
Salt – 2.5%
Sugar – 1%
Curing salt – 0.25%
Smoked paprika – 0.3%
As you know, low and slow smoking resquires a reliable smoker. For this recipe, I used my @bradleysmoker. As for the wood flavors, it really depends on your preferences. If you like a mild smoky touch, cherry, maple or apple wood should gives you the best results. If you want a strong taste, I recommand you go with hickory or mesquite.
And hey, bacon made everything better! 🥓
