Son made it back today for the holidays, daughter and son-in-law came into town as well. NY strips and hasselback spuds for supper.

Now the smoker is preheating to give 15 lbs of dried beef a 35 hour slow ride

Nice looking dinner, looking forward to seeing the aged beef when it's done.

Halfway! Thought I should try some of that sriracha salt as long as the smoke was rolling.

The salt turned out great. Some of it kinda stuck to the coffee filters, and I had to run it through a mortar, but I had some on a piece of leftover steak from last night and it was fabulous!

Beef is dried and cooling down (shouldn't take long at 3F). Then wrap for a bit and slice. I'll try to post pics of finished product later.

That looks good, I'm looking forward to seeing the sliced beef, we used to have a local diner that served real SOS with shaved dried beef that was one of my favorite winter breakfasts.

Well here is as ample of the sliced beef...

Started with 15.3# green weight, ended one ounce shy of 11# after curing and drying

Ordered some Dutch rusk buns

Made a couple dozen open-faced sandwiches for the candlelight service at church[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/

Try these. Melt 1 lb of velveeta with a can of evaporated milk in a double boiler. When melted, stir a few tablespoons into a beaten egg, then stir the coddled egg into the cheese mixture. Tear or chop up about a half lb of dried beef, add to cheese and cook a few minutes to thicken. Cool and spread on the bread of your choice, but rusks are hard to beat if you can find them. You can store this spread in the fridge for quite awhile if you keep it tightly covered.
