First go at this recipe and overall it was success despite a little shrinkage with the casing. My issue (i think) was using a fibrous vs a synthetic casing. The only changes I made was poaching for 20min instead of 30min due to size of the casing. I smoked them for 2hrs and the flavor is great! Not overly smoky and you can taste the fresh garlic and white pepper. Recipe is attached below.

1. Trim loin of connective tissue and silver skin. Cut loin into 3-4cm cubes. Mix with 90% of salt and cure #1. Cube beef and mix with remaining 10% of salt and cure #1. Pack tightly in separate containers, cover and keep in refrigerator for 48 hours.
2. Grind beef twice through 3mm plate.
3. Mix the twice ground beef adding 25-30% (30 ml), cold water, spices and garlic. Mix until very very sticky.
4. Run the cubed loin through the kidney plate (without the knife) of your grinder. This willbeat beat up the cured chunks and help in extracting the myosin. Mix until sticky and then combine with the beef and spice batter, mixing well. Add the rest of the water gradually, blending until completely absorbed.
5. Stuff firmly into 55-65 mm synthetic casings.
6. Hang for 2 hours at room temperature to set the sausage and dry the casing.
7. Smoke for 2-3 hours at 55-60°C. Smoking for a longer period may make it too dry.
8. Poach sausages in 80°C water until an internal temp of 70°C is reached. This should take about 30 minutes. Shower or immerse in cold water to cool.
9. Hang at room temp to dry and bloom the product then refrigerate.
