Cured smoked backstrap

[doug]

I'm going to give this a try. I seasoned up 1 deer strap, 1 hog strap, and 4 deer tenders earlier today..
Plan to smoke them on Sunday.

Wow!

What part does the cure play in that process since you bring temp up after the cold smoke?

The cure gives it a longer shelf life. It tastes very similar to opas jerky out of Fredericksburg if you have ever had it. They cure then cook theirs and it stays out on the counter in clear boxes at convenience stores for weeks. I had several German friends growing up that did it this way as well.

Just be sure and wash off the cure real good. Otherwise it’ll be salty as crap. I wash, then wash again. Lol

Mine are done and turned out pretty dang good! I messed up and didn't have any honey so I used Molasses. I'll definately do it again but probably tweak it a little.

That looks great. I have a few backstraps I can try this with.

Has anyone tried it with Hog Backstraps?

I just put a strap in a bag. Anxiously waiting until i can pull it off and smoke it

I gave this a shot last week when I knew we were going to be iced in for a few days. I used backstraps and tenderloins. Came out great! I'd definitely soak in a little water for an hour or so before to drop some of the saltiness down a bit. My guys at the shop tore it up!

I tried it with hog and it was really good. About the same taste and texture but a little lighter in color.
