Beef navel experiment
BIL scored me a beef navel yesterday. 19.5# cut into 3rds. Brining the smallest one with cure #1, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, chipotle and guajillo. Will let it do it’s thing till Monday. Hit the smoker loaded with pecan.
The other 2 will be done, one black pepper and garlic. The other I’m thinking a green chili paste. Hatch, poblano and jalapeño maybe fresh garlic as well.

Re: Beef navel experiment
Can't wait to see this one develop - - - Beef Navel is something I've never heard of or much less tried.
Good Luck with this and Keep us updated with data and pics if you don't mind.

Re: Beef navel experiment
Think of it more as pork belly but beef belly. If you’ve ever seen beef bacon, that’s it.

Re: Beef navel experiment
I’d never heard of it either till my BIL started doing them. Simple curing process and smoke to an internal temp of 150* or so. Then slice and brown/crisp in the old cast iron.

After 5 days in the cure it’s time to spend the night naked in the fridge. Hit the smoker in the morning, pecan splits set on low~n~slow.

Re: Beef navel experiment
She’s done. Just under 5# starting weight. Yesterday morning turned into 4:00 in the afternoon. Put 4 hrs. smoke on it. Butcher paper wrap and in the oven for another 8 hrs. Originally was going for 155* but didn’t like the probe test so took it out to195*, probed perfect. Texture is between brisket and short ribs, VERY rich!

Re: Beef navel experiment
I wonder if that is available as an over the counter delicacy in a Deli or something similar

If the deli had it would most likely be called Beef Bacon.
