Ingredients

For the Brine:

  • Up to 5 lb brisket
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup pickling spice
  • 2 tsp pink curing salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder

For Cooking:

  • Tallow (for binder, just the fat cap)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)

Instructions

1. Brining the Brisket (5 Days)

  1. Prepare the Brine:
    • In a large pot, combine water, kosher salt, pickling spice, pink curing salt, and garlic powder. Stir until the salt is fully dissolved.
  2. Brine the Brisket:
    • Place the brisket in a large brine bag or a non-reactive container.
    • Pour the brine over the brisket, making sure it is fully submerged.
    • Seal the bag/container and place in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  3. Flip Daily:
    • Flip the brisket once per day to ensure even curing.

2. Prepping for Cooking

  1. Remove the brisket from the brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Soak the brisket in fresh water for 1 hour to remove excess salt.

3. Cooking the Brisket

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
  2. Apply the Tallow Binder:
    • Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
    • Rub tallow onto the fat cap only to help the seasoning stick.
  3. Season the Brisket:
    • Sprinkle generously with black pepper and garlic powder.
  4. Wrap & Bake:
    • Place the brisket fat cap up in a roasting pan.
    • Wrap tightly in foil to retain moisture.
    • Bake for 1 hour per pound (e.g., a 4 lb brisket = 4 hours).

4. Crisping the Exterior

  1. Remove the brisket from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil, saving the juices.
  2. Broil on High:
    • Place the brisket under the broiler and rotate frequently until all sides are crispy (about 5-10 minutes total).

5. Rest & Serve

  1. Let the brisket rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  2. Slice against the grain and enjoy!

Pemmican Recipe

Pemmican is a traditional, high-energy food made by combining dried meat with rendered fat. This modern take on a centuries-old practice yields a portable, shelf-stable snack thatโ€™s perfect for carnivores, campers, or anyone looking for a nutrient-dense option on the go.


Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs ground beef (or thinly sliced beef cuts)
  • 8 oz beef tallow
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Dehydrate the Meat
    1. Prepare the Beef:
      • If using ground beef, flatten it into thin sheets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
      • If using steak cuts, slice them into very thin strips or flatten them.
    2. Set the Dehydrator or Oven:
      • Use a dehydrator set to 165ยฐF (74ยฐC), or an oven at its lowest possible setting (times may vary if using the oven).
    3. Start Dehydrating:
      • Place the beef in the dehydrator (or oven) and dehydrate until the beef is very brittle and crumbles easily.
      • This can take 7-12 hours, depending on the thickness and moisture of the meat.
      • If the process seems slow, crumble or break up the meat partway through to speed up drying.
    4. Check for Zero Moisture:
      • The meat should have no visible moisture left and should snap easily when bent.
  • Powder the Beef
    • Once the beef is completely dried, place it into a food processor.
    • Pulse until the meat becomes a fine powder (almost flour-like in consistency).
  • Combine Meat Powder, Tallow, and Salt
    1. Warm the Tallow:
      • Gently heat the beef tallow until itโ€™s pliable and pourable (but not scorching hot).
    2. Mix:
      • In a large bowl, stir the powdered beef, 2 tsp salt, and warm tallow together.
      • Mix thoroughly until it forms a uniform paste.
  • Shape and Cool
    1. Fill Molds:
      • Spoon or press the mixture into molds, a loaf pan, or even a simple baking dish lined with parchment.
    2. Refrigerate or Freeze:
      • Chill the mixture until it solidifies enough to hold its shape (about 1-2 hours).
      • If using molds, remove the pemmican once firm.
  • Store
    • Pemmican can be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place.
    • It is shelf-stable and can last for months under proper conditions.
    • For longer storage or particularly warm climates, you may wish to keep it in the fridge or freezer.

Tips & Variations

  • Meat Choice: While beef is common, other lean meats like bison, venison, or lamb can also be used.
  • Ratio Adjustments: Adjust the ratio of meat to tallow depending on your preference for texture and richness.
  • Seasoning: Keeping it simple is classic, but you can add pepper or other spices if desired (though this may affect shelf life slightly).

Enjoy this ancient, protein-dense snack on hikes, camping trips, or simply as a quick and convenient meal on a carnivore or low-carb diet!
