And by overbrined, I’m mean it was in the brine, in the fridge in the garage...ice cold...for like a month.
Pulled em out and rinsed em off and they smell fine. They look fine. I was thinking about doing a smoke on em, wrapping em in cheesecloth and letting them hang and air cure in the outside fridge for about 5-7 weeks. Make it into a bresaola. Yay or nay? |

You didn't provide the most essential point on the thread, which is the percentage of brine/salinity as well as sugar added and then also whether it was a wet or dry brine.
If it was a dry brine, then the meat is cured and can be dried out or partially cooked to make some really nice bacon or ham. If it was a wet brine, you could do a water purge and pull out the salt as well. |

Can never figure out why people go to such trouble trying to cover up the great flavor of backstrap

I don't try to cover up the taste of any of it. I get good roasts out of the legs and great stew meat from the neck. Even my ground meat isn't mixed unless I'm making patties or sausage. But i do everything myself and do it right.

Aint no such thing as overbrined...its just well brined. Blanch the salt from the meat if not desired. Many folk dont like wild game taste. Blanching makes it tolerable. Brining makes it kick ***. Ive year old cubed mulie packed in enchilada sauce and taco seasoning. The chili was killer fresh. Even MIL said it was best she'd ever had then ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It was a wet brine that I did the turkey in.
