California Farm Smoked Kielbasa All Beef Sausage
I make Kielbasa sausage here with our own grass fed organic beef, use the fattest part of the beef, the 60% beef/ 40% fat round part of the brisket, with the hard tallow fat trimmed off to end up with 80%/20% lean meat and fat. Hand ground on coarse in the meat grinder, sliced, and handstuffed into half pound sausages. Cold smoked over oak wood on the barbecue.
Once cold smoked, the sausages are laid in warm water to poach, this tightens the sausage casing over the sausage when hung to dry. You end up a very strong smoke flavored 100% beef sausage in a pork or lamb casing.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak one whole length sausage casing in warm water, rinse off any salt. Holds seven pounds.
- 2
Slice the round part of the brisket across the grain into 1” thick steaks. Slice steaks into 2” strips, they will show even amounts of meat and fat. Trim off the hard fat part, the tallow, till you have a ratio of 80% lean/20% fat. Mix trimmed beef with salts, spices and ice cold red wine, cure at room temp during the day, cool overnight in fridge.

Next morning, coarse grind cold meat, spices and garlic with sausage meat grinder. Homoginize the ground meat, see below. Stuff very cold mixture in half pound sausage stuffer, double tie ends with butcher twine. Tie ends together to form round sausage rings. Leave 1” space between ends so casings dont touch and stick together when smoking.
- 4
To homogenize coarse ground fresh sausage stuffing, put in kitchen mixer with paddle attachment, then put mix back in fridge till cold enough and ready for stuffing.
- 5
Light chimney full of mesquite charcoal and coffee can full of soaked oak wood in barbecue, temper charcoal fire till top lid is handwarm, add the soaked woodchips, hang round sausages inside closed barbecue smoker from rod, smoke till casings turn reddish brown from smoke, about 2-3 hours. Then lay sausages in hot tap water, poach for 30 minutes.

Rinse sausages under cold water and hang to dry 4 days in closet. Keep cool, dry and dark. Good for a year. Enjoy.

Split Pea Soup with Kielbasa (For the Slow Cooker) Split Pea Soup with Kielbasa (For the Slow Cooker)
This is a hearty, delicious soup that doesn’t require any babysitting once you get it into the slow cooker. This was the perfect soup to make during a recent cold snap. The dense and creamy texture of this soup is so perfect at warming you up!Most split pea soups require a ham hock or chopped ham to enhance the meaty flavor. I don’t eat ham very often, so I don’t normally have a ham hock available. Polish kielbasa is easy to obtain, and it provides a nice meaty flavor.🌟NOTE: You will need a slow cooker with at least a 6 quart capacity. Otherwise, you will need a large pot with a lid, and the cooking time will be reduced to 2 to 3 hours.#Winter #Veggies #Crockpot #ComfortFood

California Farm Made Salami Sausage California Farm Made Salami Sausage
Salami making is all about temperature and precision. Salami sausages are not cooked, but cured. We use these last warm days of fall to get the fermentation going, then dry and cure over the winter, indoors. No cooking required, just curing and drying.Hard to make, dry salami sells for up to $20 a pound. Salami sausages are good for a year, so when you make too many, they are still top flavor to give away as Christmas presents when you make the new ones in fall.Handmade, cured and dried, your gift will be appreciated. The nitrites and nitrates in the salts will have dissipated out of the meat after eight weeks.
