Beef bacon - question

Daddyshack

I made some the other day using the navel.  Same cure and process as with pork belly. 

It was ok-  As I’d read /expected - Not as tasty. 

Don’t think I’d make again. 

Would you ?  What did I do wrong ?

Beef Bacon will never be Pork Bacon( obviously) but, did you smoke and what seasoning profile? I would take it more towards Italian Bacon, not smoke, but let air dry for a few weeks and intensify the flavor ( I think pork bacon really gains with a drying period as well ) my 2 cents

A couple of us have been watching some videos from a channel called "The Bearded Butchers", who did a recent video on beef bacon.  I haven't watched it but it may have some hints (the couple videos I've seen so far have been great).

Beef bacon?   Interesting, never heard of it but doesn’t sound appealing but now I must give it a try

The only place I’ve had it is on a pizza from a pizzeria not far from me. Have never made it, but would, given the chance.
