Let's make y'all some beef bacon! We promised it in one of our recent videos • Ribs (What's the Diffe... and today is that day! We have beef bacon that we argue will rival pork bacon! We get all kinds of questions like: do you make beef bacon, do you sell beef bacon, what is beef bacon, and what does beef bacon taste like? We're here to show you. This video is the ultimate guide to beef bacon brought to you by The Bearded Butchers.
Where does beef bacon come from? Separate the beef chuck from the rib. You'll have the beef rib remaining and we'll move the focus to the beef plate. Remove the outside beef skirt steak from the beef plate, cut the plate a little wider than normal since the focus is bacon and not ribs. Remove the inside skirt. Cut off the beef ribs (these are the same cut as pork spare ribs). What's left (3:37) is the slab of beef bacon (same cut as a pork belly).
After the beef bacon is cut, here's how to cure beef bacon using Scott's Just Plain Vanilla (JPV) Method for curing:
1) Fill a meat lug meat-your-maker.pxf.io/vngKBj with 2 gallons of fresh, cold water.
2) Add 2oz of cure. We used Celery Juice Powder (bit.ly/43FDjpR) but you can substitute the same amount of sodium nitrate (aka pink cure or curing salt) bit.ly/3obO7vA. The amount of cure is dependent on the amount of water (1oz cure per gallon of water). You just need enough water to be sure all of the meat is covered. For a healthy slab of bacon, 2 gallons of water is usually sufficient.
3) Add 2lb of sea salt (table salt is fine too) to the water/cure brine.
4) Submerge (fully submerged, put something heavy like a ceramic dinner plate on top of it or it will float) the bacon slab in the brine and put it in the cooler or fridge for 10-14 days.
5) We seasoned half the bacon with our Black Seasoning before we smoked it which you can find here bit.ly/3MRa9hA (just pick your desired size). If you buy a bucket you'll get a free shaker with it! The slab has been cured so there's no need for a binder, just pour on the seasoning.
6) You'll want 2 bacon hangers like this if you're using a smokehouse amzn.to/31Y4FME to put in the smokehouse.
6a) If you want to smoke the bacon slabs on something like a pellet smoker, check out our other (pork) bacon video at • How to Make Bacon at H... and skip to 20:25. Check out the rest of that video for plenty more bacon making tips.
7) Slice the bacon. We recommend using the MEAT slicer that you can get here meat-your-maker.pxf.io/KeY6nN. This 10" slicer is great for bacon, jerky, or anything else that you might make at home.
8) Fry up the bacon! amzn.to/3Dbn6eC We LOVE the 36 Blackstone that Scott used!
Check out 10:36 to see a great side by side of pork bacon vs beef bacon after they are cured.
Be sure to check out our retail store at whitefeathermeats.com. If you stop by after the video, we'll have some beef bacon for sale for anybody that wants to try it (while supplies last). Be sure to call ahead and make sure we have beef bacon in stock!

This is what I love about the Bearded Butchers videos. No fancy over editing, no over complicated stuff, just basic straight to the point. “This is how you cut this part” “this is what you need for that part” just good old fashioned style butchering at its best. Big love and respect from the U.K guys👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🤝🇬🇧🇺🇸
I was at a Halal coffee shop and they served up Beef bacon, it was/is delicious. I'm definitely trying this. thanks for sharing your process.
Sounds great! Keep us posted, Daniel!
I am an old Marine. You boys are so easy on the mind that I can just relax and enjoy. Thank you and God Bless.❤️🇺🇸✝️
Thank you so much for tuning in and for your service, Kevin! 🙏

The ultimate BLT. Beef bacon, red leaf lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, and avocado on sourdough wheat. Dayum!
Yum!
@@TheBeardedButchers beef bacon looks good. But what about Buffalo 🦬 🥓

If a BLT could be made any better..........Beef Bacon.
@@tbone007 It's kosher isn't it?
Bacon taught me how to cook.
I was 12 and tried "microwavable" bacon for the first time, packaged by hormel. Best thing I ever tasted at this point. When I went back to the market and the microwavable ran out so naturally I bought the uncooked cured bacon. I tried to microwave it becasue I didn't know how to cook. After it came out soggy, i was super sad. To remedy the issue, my grandma taught me to throw it in a pan and put the heat on low until the bacon was cooked and this changed my life forever.
I am thankful for the microwavable bacon.
Looks mighty fine. I’m a Muslim and you inspired me to try the beef bacon.
As a Muslim I can never eat pork but as far as beef bacon goes I love that as much as a good ribeye steak!
I'm glad you're not missing out on the flavor of bacon. Bacon doesn't have to always be pork. I've never had beef bacon, only pork. I'm sure the way these two made it, it's going to be delicious.
@@beebob1279 Beef bacon does not taste like pork bacon. Not even close. It's like comparing a not dog to a fillet....
@@markdarragh6620 I've cured both beef and pork bacon many times. I have to disagree, pork bacon doesn't taste like pork, beef bacon doesn't taste like beef. They both taste like the cure and smoke. Pork bacon has a slightly better mouth feel because of the higher oleic acid content of the pork fat, but otherwise they're virtually indistinguishable.
@@dustyb3197 I wholeheartedly disagree. Beef bacon is inferior to pork bacon in taste as well as texture. BUT, we all have different palates, so to each his own.
I follow the health food laws and that means no pork
Absolutely fascinating guys, a 30 minute video just blew by. I wanted more lol, thanks so much it’s a pleasure watching you guys work your craft.
Haven't tried your guys' seasoning yet. But a 4lb bag of "Black" was just delivered to my door. Tomorrow I'm throwing a 13lb brisket on the Traeger! I have a feeling my taste buds will thank me for it!
Don't leave us hangin! How was it?
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I was thinking the exact same thing lol
We need answers
Yes, how was it??? Because of this channel I'm considering purchasing a Traeger...also, just purchased some of their black and regular seasonings, couple bags of beef jerky, and their rebel red sauce... Because they make everything they touch look so darn good... Which I am sure it is too!
Jerky was horrible, absolutely horrible processed crud & one bag was moldy too!! I get much better jerky from Aldi's (discount grocery store).
Never microwave bacon couldn't agree more. I tried roasting it in the oven once however and I'll never go back to a frying pan. Comes out perfect every time.
I cooked bacon on a grill once and I have a hard time going back to oven or stovetop. Open fure is the way to go, you just have to be careful of the drippings firing it up.
I go in the oven with sliced bread underneath to catch the drippings, then fry the bread.
@@eacapecod wow that sounds fantastic!
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I've done it on the grill it's great I just don't always feel like firing up the grill.
Fried on the hob is best. My mother in law does hers in the micro and its disgusting. No breakfast at moms thank you
It shows great character that you treat all your work with the same professional care and attention no matter if it's for your retail store, family, or even just to enjoy for yourselves on the grill in the backyard. I also agree with the Marine who commented about how you gentleman are easy on the mind. I watch your videos everytime I'm in the hospital for Crohn's disease flare ups (being really sick) and your voices and vibes greatly lesson most of the pain. Thank you and GOD bless you and your entire family.
During Operation Desert Storm our field kitchen served up bacon much to our surprise, we were told it was beef bacon and honestly we couldn't tell the difference. Great video guys, all the best from the UK
Wow. Guessing one would not readily find swine in the territories there. It's better to me anyway.
There's not many channels that no matter what they put out, I'm all ears and paying full attention, but this is definitely one of them. Thanks for sharing the knowledge transfer gentlemen!
Yes agreed. Those guys are the best. Best butchering channel on UA-cam in my opinion.
“Your beard isn’t long enough”
“At least it’s the right color”😂😂😂

Ya how funny was that. It had the feel of a long running rivalry 🙂
62 years old farm boy, learned a new thing, beef bacon, who da thought? Love the idea and will have some in my smoker to try out. 2 thumbs up...love you guys...
In Scotland (especially Ayrshire) we call this “beef ham.”
Watching this while you’re hungry is pure torture!
Seriously 😂
I don’t eat pig anymore, so when I first discovered beef bacon about 10 hrs ago I was immediately hooked. Something I found in beef bacon is that thin slices resemble the most to pig bacon for consistency and crunch factor when fried. The thicker the slice it gets a little chewy
What ever you do, don't eat a package of it before you have blood work done
😂
@@jhosk I’m on a meat only diet. Blood work is 👍
My guy used the entire bottle of seasoning on that bacon. Beautiful
I stopped in this past weekend and bought some of your packaged beef bacon and it was some of the best bacon I’ve ever had. My whole family loved it. Good stuff!
Do they sell it online?
Whenever we'd use celery powder in R&D at large manufacturer, we'd combine with a cherry powder that got a better cure reaction. It was also commented by the meat scientist who apparently did a paper on it, the regular pink salt is better because it's a more consistent product and the end resulting chemicals causing the cure reaction are the same. Celery powder was just for a label to say natural. It's potentially resulting in more nitrites that don't convert to nitrate when cooking. A rather ironic result for trying to be "healthier" and "natural". But people want what they want!

I have a feeling that the dog under the table is probably one of the best fed dogs in America 🤣😂
I just started getting back into meatcutting after a 35 year career with the Federal Gov't
I enjoy very much your videos. Too fast for this old brain, but after watching through a few times, it is all starting to come back.
BUT being Canadian, I was trained differently, so some phraseology is different, and some cuts are different.
I have made beef bacon and it is amazingly good!
I made it from the rib area.
One thing I wish you would add to the commentary.
When Seth is breaking down a quarter, it would really help me if he mentioned his aiming points for the cuts.
I see him lining up the meat on the saw, but I need him to say what he is lining up/aiming for with the cut.
Sometimes he does tell us, but sometimes he just goes ahead and cuts.
I look forward to many more videos on cutting the beef and giving ideas on alternative cuts/products for something new/different for "Value Added" in our display case.
A huge THANK YOU! to you guys.
I will be trying to incorporate many of your techniques into my routine.... BUT I CANNOT GROW A BEARD to save my life!
That black and white terrier under the table was like i love being in this family.🤤
When I retire I want to work here, I'll do anything you ask, I'll empty the trash, clean the tables, all I ask is that you feed me some bacon or other grilled meat once a day...
I know what you mean. Just to work there for free and gain their knowledge on meat production and prep then cooking techniques is worth its weight in gold. Trouble with being adventurous with meat is if you mess up, it’s expensive and I absolutely hate wasting meat. If you try a pasta dish and mess up who cares? I don’t it’s just some pasta in the bin, but when you mess up with a nice joint of beef or pork, it’s criminal not eat it afterwards. It’s like the meat scraps are leftovers after a BBQ I’ll pick every last bit of meat off them bones and ribs and feed it to my dogs, my wife thinks I’m crazy, but I told her that’s a beautiful animal that has been sacrificed to provide us with beautiful nutritious food, I’m paying my final respects to that animal by letting nothing go to waste, then my dogs have the bones as well.
@@matty6848 I was disgusted when I saw how much waste folks had with chicken wings in the bars... some left almost HALF the meat on the bones
I ALWAYS cleaned mine off! My cardiologist has the Angiogram PROVING this!!!
@@theThinkerator good for you👍🏼
You guys are incredible Pros! [Even at 75 years old] I have learned a great deal from you both! Much obliged.
I agree with you as I'm 75 years old too.
Yous both have the combined age of an OAP tortoise 🐢
You'd think I'd learn not to watch your grilling ,smoking, & frying videos before I've eaten!! Once again you guys rock!!! Take care & God Bless !!
Never knew, or thought about, beef as bacon...I love the idea...cooked up like bacon, looked like bacon, and I can only imagine the taste....I'm sold, hooked, convinced...I've learned so much about meats that I never knew, really helps when I go shopping for steaks or other cuts, I know what to look for moreso now than ever before....
I LOVE BACON! Can’t wait to try beef bacon! Best way to cook bacon is in the oven at 400 degrees on a drip pan! Thanks Bearded Brothers! Another fantastic episode!
If you haven't had a chance to stop in their shop, you don't know what you are missing. We stop down every few weeks when my daughter is home from college. Best meats around, and all around great guys. Last time in we got to talk with Seth and he took the time to get a pic with me and my daughter even though they were slammed doing the Creston Ox Roast. Love their seasonings as well!

Be glad you all can eat Bacon and meat. My wife has health problems and she is young. She always loved bacon. Back in 2020 she got down sick on me and I thought she was going to die.
After me persuading her DR to test her for Alpha-Gal the test came back she is now allergic to Beef, Pork and Lamb (from a tick bite). She can eat Fish, turkey and chicken but you can only stand to eat so much of That type of food.
I always enjoy watching your videos!!!
Yup. My brother never lets me get away with word slips either. And vice versa. It's funny as hell how people can slip up. You can tell that you guys know how to bust each other up!😂😂
You guys are the real deal!! Very seldom do I see a channel like this. You guys are honest and get straight to the facts no BS. UNBELIEVABLE beef bacon!! Great job!! I will be getting some of your seasoning. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Worked for 25 years in Saudi Arabia. This was my fix for my bacon cravings.
Awesome! Share your recipe, please!
I have a smaller smoker, so the beef beacon portions are smaller, but... after smoking, I steam the meat in water at 80 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes and smoke it again for 2 hours at a maximum of 60 degrees Celsius. It works great, now I'll try your method. Greetings from Poland.
I love bacon in fact I am not supposed to eat much pork. This would be a great alternative for me. You guys doing these various tests with your products really do educate the public. You are breaking into new ground on this. I wonder how Bison bacon would taste? How is your dad doing?
I think Bison would be good to try and the marbling texture would be quite different.
Why are you not supposed to eat pork? Religious reasons? Because if its health I'm sorry to say this beef bacon probably isn't a much better alternative :S

Have made beef bacon at home for a number of years. Always a treat.
All the way from Australia, and I must admit I was a bit disappointed in Scott not testing the tongs, lol. Anyway that beef bacon looks very good and I may have to give it a go. Keep the vids coming boy's..
Thank you for bringing awareness to beef bacon, a Healthier alternative. We are a pork free family and was extremely pleased.
Healthier alternative? I think not. Beef cuts are lower in total fat, but low-fat pork cuts typically have more nutrients.
I think this is exactly what google has. You copied it I found the response as well.
The debate between pork and beef has been well documented over centuries. Read the research and the Doctor's comments regarding which meat is healthier. You are a well established butcher and i respect that....not a scientist. Educate your self regarding pork and pork organs.
Pork isn't unhealthy at all. In fact it has the highest choline of any food, a critical amino acid the brain requires to repair itself. Treat hogs well and remove any environmental contaminants and it causes less inflammation compared to red meats. That is a main reason it's the predominant food in many cultures.
@@Chris-nh7ex Total fast doesn't matter as much as mix of fats. Anyone on KETO knows fats are good for you. Also, choline, aminos is important and pork is highest in that. And unless its olive fed wagyu no red meat is going to be healthier than pork. However its rich in many nutrients and any meat eater should consider a healthy mixture of meats to reduce inflammation, which red meat is most guilty of. I am always surprised when I see statements such as Rocco's.
Gretings From The UK - how waoderful to see 2 good Butchers who care about meat - and well delivered on camera - consise .
Man talk about being a tease. I'll have to give this a shot.
Man this looks amazing. I never knew there was such a thing as beef bacon. Very well done. Also could you post what large cutting board you used when you pulled the beef belly from the brine solution? I would love it for when I slice multiple briskets. Thanks!
I worked for Hormel running one of thier bacon smokehouses. Loved it when We had new recipes to try out-I do alot of smoking for the extended Family. Will have to try the beef bacon!

I never get tired of the noise the carcass makes after you saw through the first time when you separate the chuck and ribs.
Underestimated comment
Picking a fight with a scaffolder is much the same as picking a fight with a butcher. Magnificent meat fellas.
Spencer, good job. 👍👍👍 bearded butchers big respect for beef "bacon"
Spencer's really did such an amazing job 👌
I was hoping they would turn their heads so that I could snatch some of that beef bacon, either seasoned or not, before they catch me. That Beef Bacon looks fantastic. My mouth is watering.
Its funny enough that bacon used to be something butchers couldn't sell as nobody was buying it until the meat packing industry did a campaign about a hearty breakfast and had printed articles in newspapers about how a hearty breakfast is good for you and is bacon eggs and toast a hearty breakfast. It spawned the saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Even funnier is how breakfast is actually the least important meal of the day.
Fajitas means trash meat and was also not sold. The butchers would take the skirt steak, season it and people started wanting it...I read it on the internet so it must be true
Medieval peasants ate bacon all the time but from what I understand their "bacon" was a lot thicker.
I eat 2 meals a day and breakfast ain't one of them
The first meal of the day is breakfast, so it could be a hamburger meal at noon, or egg, bacon and fried susage at 0600 in the morning.
It’s good for those in the Dispora to know how to make Kosher bacon.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video

If I had access to a cow, a fridge where I could take up most of the interior for 10 days, an indoor smoke-house and a commercial grade slicer I could make that beef bacon. Sadly, I can't even find the meat to start. You guys are amazing, but I think you over-estimate what is available to those of us watching. Still love you and want to drive to Ohio to see your shop,

Parabéns!!
I've tried grocery store beef bacon, its weird depending on how much you cook it actually changes the taste. I typically cook my normal bacon till its just getting a nice dark red but with beef bacon if you do it the same way you get a strong beef flavor but when you make it crispy it almost tastes identical to normal bacon.
Thanks for sharing. What’s the cost difference. We don’t have that option in our part of the woods.
@@badova123 If I remember correctly it was $8 for a pack of beef bacon kinda pricey compared to the $3 to $6 for normal bacon
That was clean and neat in fact the whole process was great and the result is amazing
You guys are the best
I was just calling butchers in St. Paul a week ago for beef bacon ad I couldn't find any. Now I will look for that beef belly and attempt my own.
Good luck - you got this!
Looks really good I would like to try it
It's so good!
The Bearded Butchers: “Never microwave bacon.”

Anyone that microwaves bacon should be taken into the streets and beaten by their community.
Best cooked on the grill.

Just finished up my own pig raising/butchering a couple of weeks ago. Smoked one slab of bacon with the black seasoning and had the same reaction. Probably the best bacon I’ve ever had
I have a question about the Celery Juice Powder: since you are not using pink salt you don't have to do a heavy rinse after the brining? I've never used this before and am really curious about it.
Thanks!
You don't have to with pink salt, either, if you do an equilibrium cure. Then the salt and curing salt are measured specifically to cure and season the meat perfectly. If you do a heavy cure like they are, you might need to rinse or soak, which is really more to remove the excess salt. They get away with it by having the timing down. Doing an equilibrium cure is much more foolproof; it just requires a little math up front.
they just cut up half a cow and your question is about the celery juice powder?! WTF!
I just found out there are more nitrites or nitrates in celery juice than in curing salt. So I stick to the curing salt. They only use the celery juice so it can be labeled " No Nitrates Added " Because nitrates are scary !
Once you eat good good beef bacon, it is tough to eat pork bacon ever again
Now I need Beef Bacon, I'd imagine it beats the pants off Turkey Bacon. It's awesome watching you guys work! Very professional and concise. Cheers from Canada!
Beef bacon is actual bacon. It comes from the same of the belly pork bacon comes from off a pig. Beef bacon is better than pork bacon imo
I live 4 hours away from you guys I'm gonna come see you guys on a Saturday
These folks are keeping an american art and tradition that is lost to manufacturing.

Man i wish i was closer to these guys. 1ocean and 1 continent away Lol.
These guys are great and all, but come on now, butchery is hardly an "American" art and tradition. All the different cuts, the cures, they all come from various European traditions.
@@zimzimma5688 yes but Americans have made their own techniques over generations. Hence why Americans do so many things differently from Europeans. Plus Europe has inherited many things & ideas from America. And that’s just after a few hundred years of history.

You nailed it there guys, I was salivating looking at the black seasoned slices, I won't rest now until I've sourced some.
Thanks for doing this guys..in 60 years I have never heard of beef bacon, I think I'm going to give this a go.
I'm surprised the beef tastes similar to the pork. But I imagine the fat would be a bit different in texture. I'm going to need to try beef bacon now. Thank you guys, good lookin beards btw.
Same here Chris I’ve never tried beef bacon. Here in the U.K we eat mainly the back bacon, where as much of America has the belly bacon or what we call streaky bacon, but yes I’m going to ask my butcher if he can do me some beef bacon👍
You read that poor dog's mind under the table at the end there. "Can I have some bacon guys?"🤣😂
That was cute.
Greatly appreciate the time and effort put into your videos.Thank you for the step by step instructions, learning alot.
My pleasure!
appreciate this so much!!!! for all the kosher and halaal people!!! The Beared Butchers do it again!!! real real gentlemen to look up too ! thanks guys

beef ribs has a 2 mm thick layer of gristle .... i should know as i was a butcher in Scotland black Angus is the same breed as Aberdeen angus .. we used the ribs for making square sausage and it doesn't melt away with cooking ... another thing is we cold smoke our bacon ... what Americans call bacon we call it streaky bacon (mainly to the streaks of meat and fat) and what we call Bacon is what Americans call Canadian ham .... it's all good either way
Please call this something other than beef bacon. If I acknowledge beef bacon I would have to acknowledge turkey bacon too, and I will NEVER acknowledge turkey bacon as it is an abomination of all that is good in the world.
Turkey bacon is smoke flavored turkey loaf, this is an actual cut of meat. Also Duck Bacon is a thing too and it's fantastic so not all fowl is foul.
