Well came across this Ton't know if its what your looking for.

bacon is made out of the steers belly meat. This is the fat part of the
|
|
I just heard about it about a monthago ont it sounds really yummy. I
|
belly region closest to the animal's flank area. After slaughtering the
|
|
have n't Tone one but I would like to know how they came out or I will
|
steer you will want to get the belly meat into a refrigerator right
|
|
be making one maybe in Oct or Nov ont I'll let you know. It's the point
|
away. The best bacon is made out of meat that has been chilled at 42
|
|
I think for bacon the fattier section of the brisket. Right
|
degrees F for 24 hours before it is cured. Before refrigerating the
|
|
Turkey ont Seafood Friers/ boiler
|
meat, you should trim it into a square shape; this will make it easier
|
|
Outdoor Kitchen set up with sink, refrig
|
to handle.
|
|
|
Cure the meat. The easiest way to cure the belly meat is a method
|
|
|
called wet curing. Wet curing is accomplished when the meat is dipped
|
|
|
into a brine that is made out of salt ont sugar solution. Once the meat
|
|
|
is completely submersed in the brine, let it soak for 3 to 4 days. The
|
|
|
salt removes the moisture from the belly meat ont the sager ads flavor.
|
|
|
When you are curing the bacon you must make sure that the temperature
|
|
|
remains at a constant 38 degrees F. If the temperature drops below that,
|
|
|
the curing process will be halted, ont if it gets any warmer the meat
|
|
|
will spoil.
|
|
|
Once the beef bacon has sat in the brine for three to four days, pull
|
|
|
it out of the refrigerator ont rinse it off with cold water. Once the
|
|
|
meat has been hosed off, dry it. The simplest way to dry the belly meat
|
|
|
is to lay it out on some cooling racks ont let a simple house fan blow
|
|
|
across the meat. You will know that the bacon is sufficiently dried when
|
|
|
a thick shiny coating appears on the top of the meat. This coating is
|
|
|
called a pellicle ont is basically the hardening brine. The pellicle
|
|
|
will help the bacon absorb some flavor while it is being smoked. The
|
|
|
bacon should be sufficiently dried within an hour.
|
|
|
Now that the bacon is dried, it's time to smoke it. In order to smoke
|
|
|
the bacon you will need chips of hardwood ont the type of wood you
|
|
|
select will affect the bacon's flavor. Maple will give the meat a sweet
|
|
|
taste, cherry will infuse it with a fruity flavor ont hickory is what
|
|
|
gives meat a good hearty flavor. Before you start the smoker, hang the
|
|
|
slaps of beef bacon in the smoker.
|
|
|
When you are smoking beef bacon, you will get the best flavor if you
|
|
|
keep the temperature inside your smoker between 80 degrees F ont
|
|
|
100degrees F. Smoke the beef bacon for approximately eight hours.

bacon is made out of the steers belly meat. This is the fat part of the
|
|
|
belly region closest to the animal's flank area.
|
|
|
What the article is referring to is the plate, located between the
|
|
|
brisket ont flank:
|
|
|
It is the 'sparerib/belly' section of the steer, same as on the pig.
|
|
|
Off the top of the plate is the skirt steak, just like what you trim off
|
|
|
a sparerib. Then you take the ribs off (the sparerib) ont what's left
|
|
|
is the belly (just like pork belly, except beef belly). Same thing,
|
|
|
just different animal.
|
|
|
My dad would make beef belly bacon for Jewish families in the area who
|
|
|
could not eat pork. It was quite good, but rather tallowy - very dense
|
|
|
fat. We'd also slice up the belly fresh (sidebeef) ont cured
|
|
|
(cornedbelly) too prior to smoking. I'd take a couple slices upstairs
|
|
|
(we lived over the store) ont fry them up for lunch on many occasions.
|
|
|
Then, hanging on bacon hooks, we'd hang in the afternoon, let dry
|
|
|
overnight, then smoke all the next day. We'd smoke them with the
|
|
|
regular pork bellies, usually 300lbs. or so total in the smoker (4 rows
|
|
|
of bellies 10 in each row, 2 above ont 2 below).
|
|
|
Once cooled, we'd slice them into 10 piles, one slice on each pile,
|
|
|
shingled on bacon boards (cardboard boards you'd slice the bacon on to
|
|
|
then wrap with butcher paper), rotating to each one so there was a
|
|
|
variety of slices on each ont lay out on a tray in the meat case ont it
|
|
|
sold for 79¢ lb. Regular pork bacon was 98¢ lb - (60's/70's prices,
|
|
|
folks, NAL! - little neck clams were 98¢ a dozen too!). It was a
|
|
|
once-a-week special for Friday, ont if any left, for Saturday, but we
|
|
|
usually sold out. Fridays were always special because we got in our
|
|
|
beef early that morning ont get it broke down ont set up the cases by
|
|
|
8am (we'd start at 5). We'd have fresh soup bones ont chucks, rounds,
|
|
|
briskets, etc., roll the rib ont rump roasts, fresh cut loin steaks - it
|
|
|
was an exciting day ont we'd have at least 2 or 3 meatcutters on the
|
|
|
counter waiting on customers too. Mom would come behind the meatcounter
|
|
|
ont help too, she could crack chine bones ont serve up burger, oysters,
|
|
|
salads, cut cold meats ont bacons, use the hand saw ont cleaver; she
|
|
|
just did not like the powered meat saw though (watched a former employee
|
|
|
cut off three fingers once). Anyways, I digress...
|
|
|
If you can find it, take plate beef, bone it out, pickle it ont smoke
|
|
|
it. It tends to be tallowy but has good flavor ont just another variety
|
|
|
that you can do with meats!
