I keep a bag of carne seca in the fridge at work. I stir a bunch of it into a couple of eggs and cook them in a toaster oven. Toss it in a four tortilla and I have a killer breakfast that my coworkers are jealous of.
@@Savsal12 when it’s really really dry it taste really good. It becomes more shredded. Almost like that beef jerky that comes in the “chew” cans like tobacco
Thanks Eric! We have made a very similar thing for years and just called it chipped beef. The thing we love about it is that it doesn’t require any refrigeration so we vacuum pack it and keep it in the cool pantry. Great presentation as always! 👍🏼👍🏼
I love the fact that you make things so simple your character is great in your personality works very well thank you for sharing all your knowledge I will you be utilizing quite a bit
This is similar to “quanta” an Ethiopian dried meat. Only different is quanta is not sliced thinly and we add a hot pepper spice mix in addition to salt. My grandma used to hang it in her kitchen on clothes lines. Yummy!
Stuff like this will keep you motivated and keep you going I remember them days when my friends used to laugh at me because on my unusual way of cooking and preparing stuff it's not madness it's genius you have to be a little bit out there to discover it that pioneer spirit to Branch out find the new discovery that nobody has ever done that's the type of man I describe to be thank you sir video was very helpful
I make jerky myself and i just saw a tiktok about carne seca and i appreciate you explaining its salty beef jerky. I need to get back to the basics, I've been using too many flavors and spices on mine.
Cool since I went Lion Diet ''Carnivore'' in 2021 I have been making Carne Seca and not knowing it lol. Really to me its just beef jerky that I have been making all along but for diet restrictions I just add salt, nothing else. Thanks for the upload, I'll try your recipe for the salt ratio instead of just eying it like I have been. Sometimes I do add too much and or too little salt since I have ''as I said'' just been eying the salt I add. And now I will try this with different meats. I didn't know we can do this with pork. So I will be trying this with a pork loin here in a couple days. I dry mine in a dehydrator, it works great. I also do no salt added calves liver and kidney for dog treats the same way.
As a diver, we used to popularly use a fish stringer that was solid stainless wire maybe a quarter inch thick. It closed like a safety pin. We dove for abalone, and used the stringer to cut it. Set the abalone within the stringer stretched open, and slice along the edge of the stringer, making uniform thin cuts.
Excellent stuff, thanks!! I've made this a couple of times but didn't know there was a name for it. Traded about 5 lbs of it to a friend, but called it beef chips. A lot of labour going to making these skinny chips, but the end product is fun. Thanks Eric!!
Hi.. I did according to your recipe, although I was afraid that there was too little salt and added to two and a half percent, before hanging to dry I dipped each piece of meat for a second in vinegar, dried in the oven and also in a food dehydrator, it turned out excellent and tasty. Thank you
Damn I wish we were neighbors Eric! 😄. This is the first style of venison jerky I made as a kid, great "survival" preservation too. Been loving this channel for close to 2 years, you're the YT OG of nom-nom charcuterie!
Growing up my dad would use skirt steak, he would add salt and fresh lime no measuring and it was always perfect. He hung in over the kitchen sink or over the tub. After a few days it was perfect. Now I use the dehydrater
I started using dry spices on my jerky a while ago. I've used 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 pound meat ratio that is aproximately 1%. Salt, arbol, chipotle, garlic and onion.
Greetings from Ukraine Eric! All that u doing - make me hungry :) We try to make some dry meat cause it’s very tasty and we are looking for some new flavors (from all world) to show it at our food/snack culture :) soon we will try Carne Seca :) thank you for what you doing in your channel, Eric!
Awesome channel! I am on my 4th round of Coppa, and round 3 of Basturma!! Both are a home run, my Panchetta will be done in another week. Thanks for all your tips!
Hi Eric, can you please make a video for a goat sausage, or maybe a mix of goat with beef or something? just got my hands on some goat, and wasn't sure if it works for sausage.
Hi, I am from South Africa and we have the same thing here instead we call it Blades and its spiced the same as Biltong and some are also spiced with added chilly for a mild bite
I saw carne seca featured on a recent episode of Top Chef. Got me wanting to try some. Thanks for the walkthrough. My homemade jerky is very close to this thickness but has a few more seasonings and pink cure.

This process could be applied in the making of "Biltong Chips" using your biltong recipe... I've done this but found that slicing the bottom WITH the grain produces a result I happen like...one peels off strips then wolfs it down. Good work! (FWIW, horizontal dehydrator tray mechanisms for home use are considerably cheaper than the brands listed with the recipe, making this a more viable proposition...) Well done!
I'm from Monterrey, been following your channel for a few months now. I just started making and selling american style beef jerky in Monterrrey, I think I might be the very first producer of beef jerky in Mexico. Your videos are amazing, congrats.
When I tried eye of round carne seca right after 18 hours in dehydrator it was OK but nothing special, so I left it in my office in room temperature and enjoyed basturma, panchetta and Polish traditional sausages like kabanosy and Krakowska. Week later I gave it another try and it had amazing taste this time. It looks like, at least for me, it needed some additional time to mature.
Hi. Love you're videos. What would the difference between this and beef jerky be? Just the thickness? I noticed u didn't marinate this. Is there a reason? Moisture? Thanks
Hi Eric, it's Arif from Pakistan once again. I make beef jerky quite regularly using a 10-tray Excalibur Pro dehydrator. The temp range I use is 155-165F, which I understand is also the USDA recommended temperature range for making jerky. And it takes me about 6-8 hours to dry a completely filled machine. I noticed you used 105F here, and it took approx 18 hours. Is there a reason for using such a low temp setting?
I had a taste of some cheap salami, and I was sold, it's just so simple as a concept and you get so much from it. So now im left wondering how different they can taste. I've had my share of salted meats, and they are getting old for my taste. I'm on diet, for my epilepsy, so meat foods are my guilty pleasure. It feels like waste of time to just eat meat, so I'm happy to find this channel. I want to say crafting and not cooking; crafting something out of meats sounds like celebration in itself.
Hey Eric. Great video thanks. Can i reduce the percentage of salt for example to 1%? Or even dry without salt? Is it dangerous ? I have my biltong box with fan. Thaks
Looks very simple and fun to make. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I have some dove meat I would like to turn into sausages. Any recipes from Celebrate Sausage that would work well for dove meat? Also have some goat meat, from the rib cage, that would like to do something different with it. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
I've also found that my 14" slicing knife makes straighter cuts than any of my other knives. You have enough blade length to slice in one stroke without sawing.
Hey brother Eric, So I'm making jerky right now and I wanted to know if for instance one was making a Carne Seca but wanted to use just soy sauce instead of salt, could you merely calculate the sodium and go from there or how would one go about this. Now for the good stuff, I've been subbed to your channel for 2 years or so, and you really have a fantastic channel; in depth, info rich, great diverse recipes, just 5 stars. Pt2! I went to your site to look for answers to the soy question, and again, GREAT website, look, layout, colors pics, tabs, it's really great. And I love your recipe printout / calculator, the Metric vs Imperial, and the serving selector, it's a fantastic site, PROFESSIONAL. You duh man sir, and I wish you nothing but continued success for you and your family, you deserve it! --- NOT a paid comment! 😄
Does it have to be cut so thin? I like the way it looks in the biltong box . It looks more traditional.. i have eaten carne sexa that is was thicker than those cuts . Dried in the sun. Im trying to learn that process
Hola Eric, una pregunta... Que rendimiento tiene esta preparación; es decir, por un kilo de carne magra, que cantidad de carne seca va a salir? Saludos.
Depende de qué tan grueso lo cortes y cuánto tiempo lo secas. Puede perder 60% a 70% en peso de agua. Cuando hice 1 kilo de carne creo que terminé con 350 gramos de carne seca 😉
I would add it during the salting step and because the thinness of the slices you can let it marinade for a few hours (3-4) and it will be fine. More is ok too.
Great video! Can you explain why this doesn’t need to be cooked? I’ve seen recipes that call for drying at 165 degrees to “cook” it. I’m confused on if the meat needs to “cook” or only dry.
When people talk about cooking meat, it's mainly about pasteurization to kill any bacteria. When you dry this meat you create an environment where bad bacteria can't grow (due to the low water content). So you only need to dry it.
Jesse , the USDA and other agencies spread nonsense like that in order to scare people from preparing their own healthier 'unprocessed' foods. They only want you to use commercially prepared , less healthy foods. Why? Money. Consumerism drives the economy and corporations which lobby politicians - they make money, you get sicker... then the drug companies and health care industry gets their piece of you. You are all chopped up, divided amongst the damn vultures. Don't believe me, please. Go find out the truth on your own, it will convince you better than I can.
Great work and so apt for todays insane meat prices, that are the merest tip of the food supply chain breakdowns, imminent iceberg implosion! OZ are paying 12 dollars for an Iceberg lettuce btw! So get fermenting/pickling etc ;)
This looks great! What is exactly the purpose of such a short cure process with so little salt? Would it make sense to add much more salt to it actually draws some of the moisture or will i get an extremely salty product? Best regards
I've tried it with 2.5% salt and I found it overly salty. The thin slices soak up the salt very fast and they dry so fast it doesn't present an issue when it comes to food safety
You cut it almost all the way through, flip it over and cut it almost all the way through again, and again, and again to make long accordion strips you can hang. After it's dry, you pound it into carne machaca
Maybe it’s a silly question and some thing I don’t know, but why wouldn’t you cut the roast on your meat slicer wouldn’t that give you perfectly thinly sliced cuts?
Dear Eric What can l replace starter culture with? Since it is not possible to send it to my country. I need a clear answer since I am a beginner. Thanks in advance.
Only sujuk. Following your steps as that one the starter culture is optional. But many other recipes of you need starter culture. I tried to buy the starer culture from the sausage maker but it wasn’t possible outside the American continents.
ok. You can use cheese making cultures if that's available. You can also use naturally fermented sauerkraut juice (with live bacteria in it) as a starter culture..

Add pepper and whatever else you want. It will dry
Goes great added to black beans. Just cook with the beans
Any idea of how long it will keep without refrigeration?
Do you rotate the trays at all?
I'd like to see a recipe for Bündner Fleisch in the future. It is a cured beef product from the Swiss region of Graubünden.
If you hang them outdoors what do you do about flies and other bugs?
I've also found that my 14" slicing knife makes straighter cuts than any of my other knives. You have enough blade length to slice in one stroke without sawing.

You can use anything you want. Cumin, oregano, chili's, lime juice. In Mexico (at least where we lived) only salt was used.

You cut like forr german shnitzrell!! Salutari di romania!!
🤤🤤
You cut it almost all the way through, flip it over and cut it almost all the way through again, and again, and again to make long accordion strips you can hang.
After it's dry, you pound it into carne machaca
That's more of a Senora style (which is amazing as well!!)
@@2guysandacooler That's where I learned it.
What happens if you leave the fat, or at least some of it? Extend the drying time??? Or does that ruin the effect? I need the fat.
Would this also be known as Machaca?
Oops. I continued to the end where you called it Machaca.
Can you use a dehydrator?
Yes
Have you tried to make Norwegian cured meat?
Can we use "pink Himalaya salt?
Is the marinade the only difference between jerky and carne seca? 🤔
Sort of. Carne seca is also sliced thinner and is used for cooking. Beef Jerky is typically just used as a meat snack.
Is there any dried meats in isreal
Maybe it’s a silly question and some thing I don’t know, but why wouldn’t you cut the roast on your meat slicer wouldn’t that give you perfectly thinly sliced cuts?
How about pasteurize?...is it necessary??
not really. It's just another layer of protection
Yum!!
Machacado con huevo is delicious!!! Add the mexican flag (serrano, onion, tomatoes) and what and amazing breakfast dish!!!!
Dear Eric
What can l replace starter culture with? Since it is not possible to send it to my country. I need a clear answer since I am a beginner. Thanks in advance.
do you have any experience fermenting sausages?
Only sujuk. Following your steps as that one the starter culture is optional.
But many other recipes of you need starter culture. I tried to buy the starer culture from the sausage maker but it wasn’t possible outside the American continents.
ok. You can use cheese making cultures if that's available. You can also use naturally fermented sauerkraut juice (with live bacteria in it) as a starter culture..
How much should I put per kg? Or per pound.
If it's sauerkraut juice watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/l4YlQDUJjV0/v-deo.html
I’m going to try this but can’t you add black pepper and red pepper flakes?
sure. You can add what ever spices you like. Traditional carne seca is only meat and salt but I say have fun with it!!
