salt beef recipe

Making salt beef at home sounds intimidating but could not be easier and the results are pretty spectacular.

Homemade salt beef

2.25 kg | 5 pounds rolled beef brisket

salt

liters | 170 fl oz hot water

tbsp black pepper

tbsp allspice

ginger

bay leaves

thyme

Dissolve the salt and Prague Powder in the hot water. Add all the spices and then let it cool.

Prepare the brine

Immerse the brisket in the cold brine, add a plate on top and use a weight to keep the meat submerged for the duration of the brining process.

Store in the fridge for a week, turning the brisket every day to distribute the salt.

Cure the beef

After 7 days, soak the beef in cold water for 3 hours and then rinse the meat several times using cold water. Do not forget this step!

Rinse the Beef

Place it in a large pot full of water and slowly bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 2-4 hours depending on size. Once meat is tender remove from pot and transfer to a warm dish.

Cook the Beef

Slice thinly (only slice as much as you need) and serve piled high on rye bread with mustard and pickles. You can warm the sliced salt beef in the microwave before making the sandwiches.
