Hello all,
Haven't had a whole lot of time to do smoking and dehydrating but I was bound and determined to do something this weekend. So I decided to give nuggets a try.
A couple pounds of beef, sauce and cure -

Ready to go into the fridge for a couple hours -

Should be able to get it into the dehydrator tonight and done by tomorrow morning.

I need to re-try this.
The one time I made these I feel asleep at the end of the dry time and when
I woke up I had muebe's rocks instead of nuggets.
Well, checked them this morning and they were pinkish red in the middle so it looks like it will be a few more hours.

Drac,
If you get 'em to turn out just right, LOOK OUT! They are highly addictive. (Might be time for a ride down to Sam's Club and pick up a couple of whole sirloins 8). )

Well. 18 hours later and I think I cut the pieces to big. The nuggets -

A quick slice. Parts of the middle are still brown well done. Like the cure didn't get to the middle and it sure is taking a long time -

Tastes good.
The original cuts were 1" cubes. Like I said I think they were a bit too big. I think they would also taste better if I let them set overnight.
Any suggestions on if I'm right or other recommendations?
Jim
Yeah Jim... you might want to cut them a bit smaller. They still look really good though ;D
Well, round two failed, just not as bad.
I went with 1/2 in pieces and cured over night. Went into the dehydrator. Now I have puppy training pieces. Ediable but about the size of a peanut M&M. They are tasty.
Next time some where inbetween.
Jim
Well if they are mistakes, they look like good enough to eat mistakes...lol.. :D
You will make the best muebe nuggets next time....
