How to make Beef Sticks from Scratch - PoorMansGourmet

[@PMGK]

It's been a long time since I published a video recipe this long but there's a lot of important information that I couldn't leave out so I hope you appreciate it because it took a long time to film and edit. It's important to note that this is NOT a cured meat recipe. This process does not allow you to store Beef Sticks for long periods of time and should be consumed fairly soon if they're kept refrigerated or at room temperature. Uncured meats can cause Botulism if curing salt or nitrates aren't added. You can learn more about it here: www.thespruceeats.com/pink-salt-using-nitrates-to-cure-meat-1447029 I was able to purchase this amazing Sausage Stuffer with the help of my Patrons. I saved up for several months and got it ordered from amazon last week. I'm going to start knocking out some more recipes with this very soon.

how the hell do you get a beef tenderloin for $20?

[@santiagogarcia-lw4lm]

Poor Man's Gourmet Kitchen there’s a better way of removing the silver skin, you just basically cut the white part or the tail which it is connected to and should peel right off

If you run a second grind after you season it won’t break your meat down as much. Making for a much better texture.

in south africa we have a similar thing but its called droë wors translated as dried sausage it has less wet sausses in and mor just spices and beef and fat then air dried and enjoyd watching sports or just as a snack when ever its very big this side yours looks very jummy though nice job!

[@scottsimmons9726]

Good vid, my family starting to dabble in the sausage game with the wild game we harvest. Tip for the butcher, meet temp around 34° is easier to trim and cut, also a filet knife makes the silver skin removal fast and clean.

[@privatecitizen5264]

End result looks great! However, I still have a lot of questions and skepticism regarding the price and the cooking process

[@evanbarrett2072]

20$ for a whole beef tenderloin? That’s like $120 where I live...

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338]

you can probably use any lean cut of beef since you won't really tell the difference between a tender cut and a tough cut of beef when its ground up.

[@Nineshadows44]

Choice Beef tenderloin is that high. What he is using, I'm guessing, is what is called ungraded beef. Lower end of the spectrum usually below select, but then again for what he is using it for it's not a problem.

[@Toolmybass]

@0:52 If you use a fish filet knife you can get the silver skin and all the fat the first go. What did you do with the chain? I grind it up with already ground chuck for burgers....yum. These tenderloins on sale in Canada will run you $68 for and 8lb loin.

[@RG-tm7uq]

Looks great to me! Thanks for the video and recipe. I may add some spices like a dash paprika and ground red chiles to get that hotter taste and redder complexion. But I may be too accustomed to chorizo..

[@one-WildCard]

That is so awesome! I love pepperettes but find them far too salty. playing with this recipe and idea would be so fun. I'll even try it with turkey :) Thank you for helping me get inspired to make my own. Cheers!

That's a damn good 💡!

[@mr.reality9741]

Watch the turkey in cured processes. You can get sick real easy and temps need to reach much higher than beef.

[@theliltwirp]

Cool video, amazing color on those. I can imagine they tasted great ! Now if if you wanted those to be a bit chewier, would you have let them cook for an additional hour or so ?

Sure. Meat always gets tougher when it's over cooked. 🍻

[@JessiCat1980]

The hubs and I eat about 30 Slim Jims a month between the two of us, therefore, we have always wanted to learn how to make our own, and that's why I'm happy that I stumbled across your video. Thanks!

[@Andulvar]

Given how Slim Jim's taste so much better these days than in the 80's and 90's I could see eating that many. They're also nice and cheap. Garlic, onion, celery, and mustard seed powder is all you'll need to make them. Some tabasco too if you enjoy those Slim Jim's.

[@JudiChristopher]

@@Andulvar I'm glad you wrote this... because truthfully I don't like Slim Jim's... but it was way back in the 80s/90s when I tried them.

[@edwardk12687]

So do you happen to have a video about curing and smoking these for storage ? I usually go camping/hunting fairly often and this would be a great alternative to jerky

[@georgecutting3952]

Another Berry excellent video and them look absolutely awesome and since you got that stuffer I'd like to see you make hot dogs because store-bought ones have a whole bunch of filler in it and stuff and I'd like to see how you would do pork hot dogs maybe even a beef hot dog just because I think they would be better if you made him at home instead of buying them for whatever price at the store

[@CatsOrangeAndGrey]

Yes! I looove hot dogs but won't eat them bc of all the bad stuff in it.

[@georgecutting3952]

@@CatsOrangeAndGrey I eat them very rarely because of a lot of the stuff that's in them I mean a package every 3 months or so but yes I think it would be fantastic if this dude could come up with a really good recipe because he is really really good at what he does here and if he could do that I'd start making my own whether they be pork or beef even chicken hot dogs I would make them

[@davidsignor7931]

I agree why would you use one of the best cuts of beef to grind up

[@archangel20031]

You should apply pressure to the collagen tube so the meat has to push harder fill it and move it, that way the casing will be filled tighter and more uniform, not all loose and baggy like his was.

[@PMGK]

They're made and sold professionally, both ways, so it's up to the individual and how they like it, bud.

[@duncan4358]

[@dwklug]

Looks great. Can you think about a way to do this without a sausage stuffer?

[@PMGK]

The sausage stuffer isn't as expensive as it looks. There's models on Amazon for less than $99 US. and the alternatives cost more than they are worth in quality.

[@mcopeland05]

Its true that the final cut being across the grain makes for a more tender bite, I think it might be a little bit hopeful to think that the meat grinder will feed the meat out in the same orientation that you drop it down the feed.

[@PMGK]

Nah. Small cubed portions might turn a few summer saults through a reclaimer but long cuts will go through, from start to finish, exactly the same way they go in and end with a cross grained cut of ground meat.

[@tom_olofsson]

We use our smoker all winter. How is yours different?

[@donitaforrest9064]

You are a dedicated sausage man. Good. When i was a girl a long time ago, my father knew a butcher in Osoyoos BC, who made the most unique and delicious, and as big around as an average cucumber, "BUCKWHEAT SAUSAGE" in a natural casing. I believe the wheat berries were whole & cracked but not crushed, and were 'the main feature' of the sausage mixed with a little meat & mild spices, maybe onion? either pork or beef or both, don't know. My mother would poach it in simmering water before serving it think, oh yeah, and then bake it too, it would split open with yummy goodness....I've been looking for it again for a lifetime, can't find it. Have you ever heard of the recipe or made it, if not, please do. Thanks
