Title: A.1. Snack Sticks
Post by: OU812 on January 24, 2011, 02:31:12 PM
Was cleaning out the fridge and found a bottle of A.1. Steak sauce so I said to my self;

"Self I wounder what this would taste like in a stick?" :D Then after a couple shots I said lets do it.  ::)

Edit: hit the wrong button.  ;D

So this time I took the deer outta the freezer, 8 lb course ground.

Then added 4 lb course ground pork butt.

Mixed well.

Took 1 cup distilled water, added the cure and the seasonings.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0709.jpg)

Mixed that up.

Dropped in a tub and in the fridge over night.

The next morning.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0712.jpg)

Grind with the 3/16" plate.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0713.jpg)

Added 1 cup A.1. Steak sauce.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0714.jpg)

Loaded the stuffer and shot out 2 looooooong sticks.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0715.jpg)

Cut to length and loaded on the racks ready for the smoker.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0716.jpg)

In the smoker with 4 hr Pecan.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0717.jpg)

Got a little snow the night before.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0718.jpg)

Had to cut a trail to the smokin shed.

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_0719.jpg)

Outta the smoker and blooming.

After the overnight airing out in the fridge I had a sample and would have to say.....

THEY DIDNT SUCK!!!!

The A.1. was a nice flavor enhancement, not over powering at all but you could taste it, will do again.

I tried to live in the city a couple times in my younger days and it about drove me crazy.  ;D

I love the peace N quiet out here, the only thing I can here when sitting on the patio is the ringing in my ears and the little voices in my head tellin me I need to clean my guns.  :D

Curt
how about a close up of one of the cut ends. I am curious if the A-1 darkened the meat. They look good from the out side though.

Very good looking. I always like to see a cut shot. Those look lean and professional. Is the taste what you expected?

I was picturing the A.1. standing out more but with 1 cup it blends in well with the other spices.

You can tell its there but its not over powering.
