Hey hey...here's an elk sausage i made recently that will definitely be in my everyday list;

4lbs Elk Round Steak (or any venison)
1.5lbs Bacon Ends
7 whole serrano chilli peppers (diced 1/4")
30g Kosher Salt
20g Brown Sugar
6g ground black pepper
6g smoked hungarian paprika
6g Dry granulated garlic
2.5g Cure #1 (optional)
1g Dry Cilantro
1cup White Wine
1lb High melting point pepper jack cheese (use whatever you've got..diced 1/4")

Cube & Grind patrially frozen Elk & Bacon through medium plate
mix the spices and wine to achieve a bind
mix the Serrano's and cheese to achieve a balanced distrubtion
Case and hang for a couple of hours to dry.







I thought the 1lb of cheese would be to much, but it worked out perfect. Great cheesy sausage.

Looks fantastic. Merry Christmas!

Hi Dingo,
The end result looks great. I will make these sausages with beef though, elk is still unheard of here in the wilds of Australia.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Get some Roo Jan it will work

Try wild horse and tell us how it turns out!

Robert,
If I shot a roo here I would be treated by our government like The old Osama B.L. It's safer and cheaper to buy whole rumps for $ 4.99 kg.

Dogfish,
They do shoot wild horses (brumbies) here from helicopters by the hundreds on a regular basis.They are just left to rot in the bush. The wounded ones are
forgotten as well. A bl--dy disgrace if you ask me.
Anyhow, my wife is a horsey lady so horsemeat sausage is DEFINITELY off our menu. As a pure bred Dutchman by birth I have eaten lots of horsemeat in the old country, mainly cured, smoked and dried though and thinly sliced.
I have got a proper manufacturers recipe on how to make it with beef.
I could translate the recipe if anybody is interested.
Cheers, enjoy the rest of your holidays.

Hi Jan,
Hope you're having a typical sweaty Brizzy xmas. It was -24c here the other morning. Damn Chilly. Anyway, Horse meat is banned in the US, however I'd still like a look at the recipe if it's not to much bother.

I think the Elk-Chilli-Cheese would work just fine with beef.

If your looking for venison;.. I used to go by this place when I was in Bris-vegas;..(My wife and I used to live/still have property up the road in Gympie...(no Gympanzee jokes now ))

They don't advertise it on their web site, but I used to get some venison from them when I ran out of hunted product. Bit pricey, but when you want it....you got to have it.

Hope its not too hot (i despised the humidity in Gympie )
Let me know how these turn out with beef.
