  • Salami needs to have a lactic acid fermentation. milk has lactic acid in it  but is the sausage fermented?.... This is like calling a English muffin with ketchup and cheese a Pizza. Not a salami but looks like a decent Sausage

  • @BarnBurner2000 - there are many types of salamis, this is a cooked salami, not a dried, semi-dry or otherwise fermented salami. I do those too but I'm not exposing myself to liability for free. Google "worm tumor" - see if a fox news report is still available.

  • This is interesting. I always wanted to try making salami but didn't have any place to hang it that would be bug free with ventilation. Have you froze your salmai after making it? By cooking it does it make the salami more tender as opossed to dry? And 1 last question your recipt calls for soy as a binder but in your writings you said skim milk? Thank You

  • Interesting video, though strictly speaking that is a baked sausage rather than a salami - which requires curing and fermentation.

  • @WillThinkAboutIT - very good, but I beg to differ. It is a cooked salami. It isn't a "dried" nor "cured" salami but a salami juust the same. I also make a number variations of soppressattas. If you notice I don't show how to produce this, also I trust you picked up on the fact I don't teach how to salt cure pepperoni. Some stuff I just give away.

    Good luck to you.

  • @rldel149 I s it possible to get your e-mail to ask more detailed questions on how to get started on this type of Salami making and processing. Thank You!!

  • Who do you have playing steel guitar behind you? Denny Mathis, Buddy Emmons?

    You wouldn't happen to have a copy of bandera Waltz would you :)

  • @david1002a - no that is a friend from work. Mixed on a microBR I think he said.

  • I like to add anise,"ah nees e ah " oil or ground seeds

  • eww

  • @AzulDiamond93 eww what :) It all sounds good to me. I prefer to Hog Guts but they are to expensive haha. Marrow guts are good to but they stick real bad. But once you get paste the odor your hooked for life. Thanks

  • @david1002a eeeww lol

  • do you cook it in plastic? what is that brow thing where you put the meat into? In italy we use the pork intestins what do you use ?

  • @PiccoloMichela - they are fibrous casings (which are very much like a specialized paper product). They are inedible and used only for cooking.

  • well done!

  • What is Binder and where can I buy it? How much Tender Quick?

  • @david1002a binder keeps it together so its not crumbly. I use powdered skim milk.

  • great video, thanks for the confidence! Have you smoked these before? and what venison cut do you grind?

  • @Justinhawthorne "...and what venison cut do you grind?" - - trimmings and shoulders mostly. It works best 50:50 with 80:20 beef (makes 10% fat) but you can cut the ratio of beef burger to deer by getting the cheap 60:40 hamburger. It is less expensive at the store because it has a lot less meat / more fat to start with. Therefor it takes even less store-bought meat to supply the minimum 10% fat. You can make it w/o fat using binders but it can end up hard / dry / crumbly pretty easy.

  • Thanks for the best video!!!

    Can someone tell what is the binder? Is it the soya bean powder? if so, can I use also liquid soya? how much?

    thx.

  • @Avi12315 He told me he uses dry milk but soy flour or tofu sounds good but I don't think tofu would make it stick together

  • I can show you how to stuff five pounds of meat...

  • I got it at local Northern Tool store. It was on special for "Father's day" which knocked a few more pennies off. It holds 5# nominal and is an import.

  • can u put them in a smoker

  • @bubbles0699

    yes, the thing about doing things yourself is you are in charge - and responsible too (were something to go wrong). Watch what you are doing, follow common sense best practices and it is just like cooking any other meat.

  • mmmm...AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! THANKS!

  • thanks

  • I made this with 80/20 ground beef. The end result tasted more like prosky than salami. Don't expect to get and Italian Genoa Salami from this recipe. If I made it again I would use lean ground beef instead because alot of grease is retained in the cooking process. Also I would use 1/2 of the pepper, and wrap in aluminum foil instead of casings because the meat is so stiff after refrigerating over night that my sausage stuffer couldn't stuff it.

  • Yummy

  • where can i finde deer meat i live in maryland ??

  • @usausaarmy

    On a deer. All you need is a gun and a knife. Good luck.

  • @stuffem1 umm i dont think so they will kik my ass here in MD

  • Not at all to be a wise guy but generally by operative hunting.

    I live in TN where thanks to the efforts of TWRA (Tn Wildlife Resource Agency) and the REAL system which up until last year REQUIRED a hunter to physically check his deer in, TN has some of the best data and healthiest herds in the region. Last year politicians mucked it up and allowed "Internet" check-in. Our data and deer will suffer.

    Try "Hunters for The Hungry" program in your area if you don't hunt. Maybe they can help.

  • Burgundy wine instead of water, that is...

  • Great video. Got a few questions... Can I use liquid smoke in the mixture, can I use burgundy wine and do you have to poke the log before puting it in the oven?

    Thx.

  • Liquid smoke, yes, but I use a commercial concentrated product rather than diluted product like Wrights (good product btw - just not very strong) - that way I don't add too much water.

    wine - sure, your sausage, your way.

    poke - the casings are pre-poked (perforated).

  • Great video's! My wife kids and I are getting ready to do in our first pig and just went and gathered many ingredients for Andouille and such. I just had one question about this recipe. I can't find Tender Quick any where!! I ever searched the mortons site and there isn't a store within 100 miles that sells it. I am in Clarksville, TN. Seeing how this is a cooked salami, what purpose does the TQ serve? Thanks Troy

  • If you can't find TQ locally, Allied Kenco in Texas caries it. It is the cure and assists in maintaining meat quality and presentation.

    That Andouille aint like you find in stores, it has some garlic kick.

  • Really appreciate your video! I'm making salami for the first time. I would like to add cheese but can't pay high price for high temp cheese. Is there a substitute I can buy at local grocer that would work? Followed your recipe for salami and my sample came out terrific. Great job! thanks, Larry

  • Yea, know what you mean, I use regular cheese myself, just chunk it large. It melts some and a little comes out with the water. I cook it slower (more like a smoke temp - you figure what works for you), I get mine to 140 deg F and that is about when the steam slows down (but not stops completely).

  • Just wondering if the 2 1/2 tablespoons is enough cure for 10 pounds of meat, and if I am using process deer burger with some beef fat in it, could I skip the water and the soy protein? Thanks for your help! Videos are awesome!

  • You can try it. The end product is a cooked salami not a dry salami - refrigeration is required. At 1/2% nitrate and 5 TBS / 10# you will get an acceptable result in protecting/tinting the color. I like it with a bit more salt that that even.

    Yes. The water and soy add both softness and guards against shrinkage. Your sausage will probably be a bit harder (possibly a bit brittle depending the % of fat - if low) but will taste virtually the same.

  • Hey Randal: Just wondering if you cool bath the salami after taking it out of the oven or do you just air cool them?

    This is my project this weekend!

  • Air cool

  • I loved the video. I have a couple of questons:  Is this recipe for 10 pounds of meat and also is the 2 1/2 tablespoons of tenderquck enough for 10 lbs. Lots of other recipes I have viewed seem to call for alot more. Thanks for your help!

  • i absolutely love salami!!! it's the best cured meat there is!!!

  • What kind of sausage casing is that? Is it synthetic or is it edible?

  • That one is essentially a paper casing. They call them "fibrous" casings.

  • Sometimes it pays to boil the meat (and the casing if it's animal intestine) before grinding.

    Wild game can have all sorts of deadly bacteria in them. You can make great sausage from cooked meat if you use good spices.

  • I am not familiar with the process but clearly I don't know everything. Persons should try to observe the behavior of the game animal before the shot. And along that lines, clearly sick animals may not make a good harvest.

    If the kill was and field dressing was clean, the carcass handled and put under refrigeration, bacteria growth can be minimized.

    I always freeze game for some period of time in a deep freezer (-10 -25 deg F). This can destroy a number of organisms including some parasites

  • do you have to coolroom over night?

  • You can. And doing so tends to help keep the average meat temperature down in lower values that may slow bacteria growth and will allow dry spices to re-hydrate.

  • very nice always have mine done at the processor now i have an option great video thanks again

  • If you have a good, clean, reasonable, flexible processor it is hard to beat but sometimes, it is late when you find the deer or you want something different, it is nice to do it yourself.

    Also I hear that while prices vary, some people are charging 15 - $30 to make a 3# deer sausage. $0.54 casing and some TQ, pepper, et other common spices doesn't add up to $10/# when I am supplying the deer. I'm not saying there isn't some equipment involved but get real.

  • very well created video,what a nice man!

  • can I make dry raw salami in an apartment? How do I smoke them? How do I control temperature?

    thanx..

  • Dry salami can be made and made safely however the process is biologic in nature and has to be done under tight controls. Because of the large number of things that can go horribly wrong resulting in unfavorable outcomes, some of which can be dangerous.

    The making dry and semi-dry products does have interest but it has its risks - especially "the old ways". I'm sorry I can't further your interests at this time but since youtube is open as it is, it does not offer much informational control.

  • There are more than one type of dried sausage. Recall dry products are not cooked an parasites and their eggs are not destroyed in the oven - 'cause there isn't one right! Destruction must come by other means.

    I don't know if it is still there but search for WORM TUMOR FOX NEWS

    If the story is still there - watch it. That is the type of thing I avoid.

    SMOKING:

    Look on line at hunting equipment supplier like gander mountain, bass pro shops and places like that. They sell a variety of smokers

  • Electric smokers are easiest to regulate temperature & moisture in. And, while I don't have one myself, I have heard good things about a small electric model Old Smokey that is available via Texas or Northern Tool. It is only like $100 or so. It is shaped like a giant pot with an electric skillet controller at the bottom. There are no provisions for adding chips after you start & it has other limitations but it is small, simple & being electric might be permissible on a balcony in an apartment.

  • thanx so much for the respond!

  • what other options besides soypowder could you recommend,I can get my hands on anything exept that one :(

  • 9CFR424.21 Use of food ingredients and sources of radiation. lists vegetable starch, wheat gluten, whey (protein, reduced lactose, dry or dried) are all used singularly and/or collectively as binders up to 3-1/2%

    I use soy because it works and is readily available. It extends, binds and helps hold moisture. If you use 80:20 (or fattier) beef alone it will bind without the soy but it may tend stiffer/drier.

    You might try wheat gluten as it is commonly available. Test a small batch first.

  • Great video and very well explained,I have 2 questions,can I make that same recipe with just beef,does is all stay unchanged?Is any meat tenderiser good or should it be morton's?Here I wouldn't be able to find Morton's.

    Thank you.

  • Yes it can be made with beef. It isn't a tenderizer per se but more of a cure or a bacterial growth and color enhancement product. The end product requires refrigeration but if cooked, handled and stored correctly you can produce a safe product. You won't get any benefit of nitrites to set the color (towards a more pinkish color). Also, there is a bit of sugar that kinda helps hold the harshness of the salt flavor down. The flavor won't be exact but it will be close.

  • thanks for making these videos! i'm excited to try them, but i thought salami was fermented? i am new to this. God bless!

  • There are a lot of variations for dried (fermented) to cooked in most every variety of sausage. This is a cooked salami.

  • this is so cool.

    looks delicious!!

  • beefyramos; Thanks, salami is a rather simple recipe. Others that have tried this recipe report favorable results.

  • Wow (O_o). That's gr8, i like it... By the way which casing you used for Salami??? Are that Cellulose Casings? :o/

  • Fibrous - (basically a special paper like casing).

  • Thanks :o)

  • Is that ok with potato flour or it must be soy flour? its hard to find it ;)

  • I have not tried potato flour and have not seen it used as a binder in any other recipes. I have heard of of rice flour, corn syrup solids and dried milk as binders but never needed to test them.

    If you don't have an international market that carries soy flour, it is often found @ health food stores & in the organic and/or ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets.

    One such product line is Bob's Red Mill. You might call/email them & give them your location asking for a distributor near you.

  • Thanks alot! i found it @ int market :D lets make some salami! hehe

  • Nice vid, appreciate it!

  • Thanks. It is a pretty simple recipe and turns out well.

  • what was the recipe i could not hear clearly

  • so i need ur help so i want the name of recipe and what the time the product need in oven to be ready to eat i need every thing plzzz i waiten youu

  • see video @ 7min: 45sec, cook at 300 deg for apx 2 hrs and 30 min.

  • lol 3.50

  • 1.) What can you do if you don't have venison for this recipe? 2.) Are tender quick and soy flour at the local grocery store? 3.) Where do you get the casing?

  • 1) 80:20 ground chuck works great and is low fat.

    2) TenderQuick used to be carried at grocery stores and most will have soy flour. If they cary Morton products, they can probably get it. It will likely be in the "organic" or "ethnic" sections though. There isn't anything really special about soy, people all over the world eat soy beans/bean flour.

    3) I get my casings from Coty at Allied Kenco in Houston Texas. He also has the other stuff if you want to get it there. Tell him Randal sent you.

  • Just excellent. Only thing I would do slightly different would be is to hang them and smoke over hickory. But even oven cooking those bad boys look awesome.

    Great job!

  • You are not the first to enjoy a smoked salami. I do climb the ridge for my own shagbark. Nothing like green hickory to smoke with. Makes grey smoke... I have some videos showing a smoker out back - and yes,,, hickory gets used quite a bit.

    If you are a hickory smoke fan, check out the Deer Bites video. It is done on my grill but you can't mistake the hickory.

    Thanks for watching.

  • I tried your salami recipe and it receivved rave reviews from all of my family, friends and my taste buds. I smoke it vice baking in the oven-although I do bake for the last 30 minutes to get it up to internal temp

    Also when it's done, I cool it quickly to get it past the "danger" zone of bacteria growth...under cold running water or ice bath then quickly into the fridge to finish the cooling...

    Great job and recipes - Your pepperoni this weekend! Keep up the good work!! ~~Ron

  • Fabuolus info found in these videos. I wish you had a website to get "one on one" sausage making lessons. Just bought some hog casings from a butcher to get some of your sausage recipies underway. Truely an inspiration for all getting into sausage making. bravo once again. MJ.

  • I don't know. Relative profit or loss (for me) is my point. I do these to control my final product's quality and taste. Basically - to cut fat or to use my game in more diverse ways.

    But forging a guess, I'd say higher because quality lean meat is higher than fat. I spend maybe half a day altogether making and cooking.

    Equipment, Hmmm... dunno I bought it one piece at a time. I will say I went to Northern Tool today for some drillbits and noticed they have a big sale on this weekend.

  • What's your home made - to - supermarket cost ratio turn out to be? Also, how much for all the equipment?

  • can soya sauce be used instead of soy protein? i dont know if i can find a soy protein in a market in bangladesh.

  • Soy sauce is not the same.

    Look for soya flour or soya bean flour (de-fatted or low fat would be the best because it increases the percentage of protein).

    I use common soya flour. I have not tried it but I am told some people use non-fat powdered milk. My deer processor used a oat based binder in his sausage.

    In the US there is a blend of flours sold as a "binder" which is said to be a mix of corn, wheat, oat, barley and rye flours. Again, this is a product I have not used.

  • You could add pork, you don't have to. Yes the soy acts as binder and holds moisture as well as helps the salt mix.

    I had a friend try some summer sausage once and darn near freeked out "is that done? It aint hard like all I've ever seen. I don't think that's done.." He was used to dried-out, over-cooked sausage. I started to explain but...you'd have to know the guy.

    If you watch my clips you see I try to be both clean and stick to tight controls which includes temperature and cook times.

  • you make it look easy

    you dont add any pork butt??

    does the soy protein help it from drying out??

  • that does look delicious!!! mmmm!!!

  • My mouth is watering --my god that looks good!!!
