Beef Sticks. Cajun Style

[Matthew]

Trying my hand at beef sticks. I really hat the plunger for the kitchen aid. Messy. But it does work. Did 4lbs of round steak and chuck (fat). Ground and seasoned with a Cajun cure. Plus I added more Cajun spices.





Bag for assistance



Ready for smoke.

looks EXCELLENT! I'd fill my pockets now with those to fill my mouth later

 

[Matthew]

Need to buy some string.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks great Matthew. I'm working on another 4 pounds right now. Should be done tomorrow. Those things are delicious!

Ok. Now you've really got my attention... My wife's kitchen aid just sits on to of our fridge. Now it looks like I have a reason to use it.. Could you please give some details on how to make these...recipe/blend for the meat and such..as those things look great and I would love to do a venison version. Also, Mathew and cliff, what version of the meat grinder and attachments are you guys using? A quick look on amazon yielded quite a few options.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Those look great! I have the same attachment but haven't tried it yet.

Awesome looking beef sticks!!! The Kitchen Aide does a great job grinding but using it to stuff, no so much!!

It's pathetic. I need to rig a new plunger with some pvc

Ditto.

Is this like a homemade Slim Jim?

 

[Robert-R]

Good job, there.
I'd love to start making sausage, but the wife said "NO!" after she caught me looking at the sausage machines at Cabellas.

Looks really good Matthew. Can't wait for the finished pictures.

 

[Dean V]

What about this? Would it work well for 5-10 pound stuffing jobs? Anyone?

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

You'd definitely have Popeye arms when you were done!
