Smoky Beefstick
Ingredients
  • 4 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pound spicy pork sausage
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 5 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seed
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
1
Combine ground beef, pork sausage, mustard seeds, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, curing salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an extended period overnight
2
For the subsequent three days, take the meat mixture out of the refrigerator and knead it for 5 minutes. Then, return it to the refrigerator until the next day
3
On the fourth day, remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator and knead it for 5 minutes. Next, shape it into six equal logs. Wrap each log in aluminum foil and make a few small holes in the top of the foil
4
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the logs on a broiler pan lined with aluminum foil, which will catch any grease that drips during the cooking process. Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 6 hours
5
After baking, turn off your oven and let the logs remain in it for another three hours. Remove them from the oven and refrigerate until they have chilled completely
6
Once the logs are chilled, remove the aluminum foil and slice them into thin pieces. Serve the sliced meat product
