Looks delicious Big Guy. I love the pickles too. I just put some nice big fresh picked pickling cukes in a fermenting pot today. Can't wait til they are done. Wish I had some of the Moose to go with it for sure

Hey Big Guy,
Yup, you've done it again. I hope you don't mind if we place this recipe into the "winners section". I'll nominate it myself. Wow, that's a real winner! Great work my friend.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

Looks darn good, can I have a bite :wink: This is my favorite sandwich, pastrami and rye! A couple of questions, how much cure#1 did you use, and pump / brine for 7 - 10 days? The reason I`m asking is, I have a couple of 2.5 lbs moose roasts, I`m itching to try this recipe, but my concern is the size of my roast. Good job!

I used 1 tsp of cure per pound of meat and brine. I used 1 gallon(imp) of brine so that was 10 # and a 5# moose roast total 15 # so I used1 Tbs cure#1. I pumped them with about 10% of their weight and kept them in the brine for 10 days just to be sure it penetrated compleatly. Post your results and comments I am looking forward to see how you enjoy it. Mine is almost all gone I think I'll try it with a caribou roast. :mrgreen: I'll have to call it Rudolfastrami :lol:

Thanks for the update. Kinda what I thought, I mixed my mossestrami brine the same. I`ll keep you posted on how it comes out!
Caribou, I bet that would make an excellent strami, never had caribou, but heard its good stuff.
Thanks again! Chow..

The moosestrami is complete; I have to say really good stuff! The Moose meat I had was like large steaks, so the slice was about 1.5" thick. Not ideal slices for sandwich but definitely eat right out of the bag. Was a good experience and will definitely make again. Oh, my total brine time was 5 days, plenty of time for the 2.5" thick steaks, with a mild salt taste.
Thanks.
