Good man!

Sorry on the recipe... I have never really written mine down. If I had to take a shot-
Onion and garlic powder- 1 tsp/Lb each
Brown Sugar- 1 tsp/Lb to 1 Tbsp/Lb- depending on your sweet tolerance
CBP -1 tsp/Lb
Soy sauce -1 Oz.Lb
ground red -.5 tsp/Lb
Since yer using Prague #1- you'll need to add Kosher salt too... start at a Tbsp/Lb I'd guess
Add enough dark red wine to make it all a slurry with the meat

Pretty basic, but remember to keep track, then you can adjust the next batch.

Thanks Rich, I was thinkin along the same lines. Lookin for a peppery sweet taste for half and a pepper hot on the other half for the kid.

[Richtee]

Ahh well, adjust as needed. Consider some chili powder in his half, maybe .5 tsp/Lb in addition to the red.

I've said this before. Crack some black pepper right onto the slices while wet. Just before putting into the smoker or dehydrator. Or put some red pepper flakes and/or seeds into a grinder and do the same. You want it peppery, that'll do it. I do the BP for myself, my oldest loves the red pepper.

And I just found this the other day. I still haven't went through it all, but many good looking recipes. I'm sure it could apply to beef as well, and covers both the oven/dehydrator or whole muscle/ground. I'll be trying some of these.

Let us know what you decide and how it turns out.

This is straight of the Rytek Kutas' book

Per 6 lbs of meat

2 tsp salt
2 tsp Instacure #1
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp black pepper
1/2 C Soy Sauce
2/3 C Worcestershire sauce

add what you want to get the flavor you are looking for, but this is his basic recipe and is pretty good just straight up.

Marinade overnight and get smoking the next day.........go easy on the smoke though, jerky really soaks it up.

[Fatback Joe]

Ahhh you doubled the recipe for him, din't ya? You SHOULD mention that Joe LOL!

That would be for 6 Lbs per Kutas

Must be too early........thanks for keeping me honest........yeah, cure matters.......well to some of us anyhow. :D

Should have read "for 6 lbs of meat"

[Fatback Joe]

went and edited the original post in case someone reads it and doesn't look at the rest of the thread.

Thanks again for the catch, Ritch.

[RowdyRay]
