INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n 2.2 Kg Lean Beef Chuck (Shoulder) METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 Cut the beef chuck into 20mm pieces, then grind it at least twice through the finest plate on your meat grinder. You can also finish this by cooking them in simmering (82 – 93\u2103) water until they reach 152 degrees internally. If you choose this method, add 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to the meat mixture when you add the rest of the spices.<\/p>\n \nEmulsifying Meat<\/strong><\/p>\n Almost all commercially produced hot dogs are made with emulsified meat. NOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to go the extra step (and you own a food processor) you can emulsify your frankfurter meat and make something very close to a commercial product (only better).<\/p>\n By the way, this process works nicely for bratwurst, knockwurst, and bologna style sausages also.<\/p>\n 1 Grind your meat twice through the smallest plate of your meat grinder. I find it is easier to get a good emulsification if I add small amounts of ice water to mixture while it is being processed. NOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n Mace is the shell of Nutmeg. You can use Nutmeg instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" INGREDIENTS 2.2 Kg Lean Beef Chuck (Shoulder) 3 Tbsp Ground Mustard Seed or 2 Tbsp Dry Mustard 2 Tbsp Paprika 1 Tsp Fine Ground Black…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"wf_page_folders":[46],"class_list":["post-1919","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1919\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wf_page_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grub.fairgomate.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_page_folders?post=1919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n3 Tbsp Ground Mustard Seed or 2 Tbsp Dry Mustard
\n2 Tbsp Paprika
\n1 Tsp Fine Ground Black Pepper
\n2 Tsp Ground Mace (Nutmeg)
\n2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
\n\u00bd Tsp Granulated Garlic Or Garlic Powder
\n\u00bd Tsp Ground Celery Seeds or Dill
\n1 Tsp #1 Cure (Prague Powder Or Instacure)
\n1 Cup Ice Beef Stock<\/p>\n
\n2 Combine all your spices, then combine them with the ground meat and mix it all very well for 2 to 3 minutes to get a very even spice distribution.
\n3 Working in small batches and adding ice water as needed, emulsify the sausage mixture in your food processor. Click Here for Emulsifying Directions
\n4 Stuff the emulsified sausage mixture into 1 \u215b inch natural sheep casings or an equivalent sized collagen casing. If you use collagen casings, make sure they are the kind made especially for use in the smoker.
\n5 Take the wieners to the meat smoker and process until they reach 66 – 68\u2103 internal temperature.<\/p>\n
\nYou can produce a good frankfurter at home by grinding your meat multiple times through the finest plate on your meat grinder but…<\/p>\n
\n2 Add all of the spices and cure to the meat and mix very well.
\n3 Refrigerate the meat mixture for about 30 minutes to make sure it is good and cold.
\n4 In small batches, process the chilled meat mixture in your food processor until it is the consistency of a fine mousse (almost like baby food). Continue until all the meat has been emulsified.<\/p>\n
\nYou can add as much as 1 \u00bd cups of water to 5 lbs of meat without it having any adverse effects on your finished sausage.<\/p>\n
