Hi, I'm Matt the Butcher, a certified whole animal butcher, and with over 10 years of experience in the trade I absolutely love what I do. This TH-cam channel is focused on butchery and charcuterie techniques using a variety of kitchen equipment. Working as a full time butcher I tend to get too busy to experiment at work, so my home kitchen is where I have started to build on techniques and recipes to then bring back into the professional world. I'm excited to share all of my experiments, tests, successes, and even the things that didn't turn out! Thanks for checking out my channel and please leave a comment to let me know what you're watching and what you think!

ANCHOVY SALT SALAMI!! this was a really cool project. I've never used an umami enhancer in any of my salami before let alone a fermented seafood byproduct. This came out funky and interesting! I would love to keep exploring how this salt can enhance dishes with a unique flavor, I doubt many people have tasted. * * * Time Stamps: How it happened : 0:00 Cutting/Grinding Meat for Salami: 1:54 Crea...
Is a Deli Meat Slicer for home use worth the price ?

🤔Is it worth buying a deli meat slicer for your house?

That aint no foster farm chicken leg, that chicken coaches track.
It’s beefy for sure!
"Wow, that's juicy. More, please more." 😅 No comment.. lol.
Couldn’t help myself 😉
What temp and for how long?
350f 25-30 min
It looks a little undercooked
I just made a tanto blade knife today from a railroad spike
Nice how does your forearm feel !? lol
@MatttheButcher it feels great I actually just sharpened it
I’m just getting my wine fridge to do this to make guanciale. Have any tips? Is it ok to just use water and a fan? I found a hygrometer but your solution seems way cheaper
Yes! Guanciale cures up great like that 🙏
Nice 🏅
Thanks 🔥
Thank you
Of course 🙌🙌
This helped me out so much and it was so simple to follow! I found one prior to this was so complicated, even though it claimed to be the "easy" one. This one is bookmarked and saved.
Awesome thank you for the comment 🙏
Would cooking in a smoker at around 215 work?
Hi yes it should work
Thanks, great explanation. All wine fridges in Australia seem to have fans in back , no cold plate. Would this be detrimental in having too much air flow?
As long as it’s not too intense or direct then yes it should work 🙏
Sooo underrated… u deserve the million 🔥
Looking at doing this with some 8 year old mutton. Will the 14 day cure tenderize the mutton?
You should be fine , the cure time and low and slow cooking of the meat and then thin slice for bacon will make it nice and tender 🙌
@@MatttheButcher Thanks very much. Hard to get much feedback on what’s considered by all too many as inedible.
Incredible, love the history you dug into and split contemporary bbq where they really refine say the brisket or ham from texas old school bbq where they subdivide and cook larger sections of the animal.. which reminds me of the step before that, which where im from we'd call "old Virginia bbq' (1600-1800s) which is where theyd take whole ox or hog and butterfly it and cook it over pits dug in the ground (like carolina whole hog). And since my heart is drawn more to the old school bbq of my childhood when i think smoked beef I think roast cuts like the shoulder clod. All this to say i really enjoy how you guys contextualize the history of bbq in the cuts you offer and cant wait to try this myself as its pull on my heart strings is much stronger than brisket's. Fantastic video as always.
Ooh ! Its look a poop
But I can assure it taste better 😉
Je vais faire ça tout de suite
Solo español por favor
Mucho guwaw! gracias matteo!
Mucho Loss wow 🙌
Was that the front legs or the back leg?
😅😅😅
@@MatttheButcher Glad you got it. 😏😂
Do you have an all beef liverwurst recipe? I literally can't kind one anywhere.
Hi! Beef liver cooks up very different than pork liver in this kind of application and not in a good way. It kind of curdles and doesn’t spread as well.
@@MatttheButcher How would you cook Beef liverwurst? I've done some research and came up with a recipe but just not sure how to cook it. I'm guessing that I would boil it. I'm not looking for a spreadable one, just one that can be sliced. We love Wellness meats all beef liverwurst and I'm trying duplicate one close to theirs.
@@reginacorbett-mortgageloan8956 hi, that’s awesome you found a recipe! Yes I’d poach it in a water bath no more than 170 deg F . Put it in a casing or terrine mold and cook it like that until internal temp is 145 . Hope it works out thanks!
@@MatttheButcher Great! thank you so much! I ordered some casing from your link. This is the recipe I put together after researching recipes found online. 16oz 80% Beef 6.4 oz Beef Liver 4.8 oz Beef Heart 4.8 oz Beef Kidney 2 tsp sea salt 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp pepper 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp marjoram 1/2 tsp allspice
@@reginacorbett-mortgageloan8956 oh wow thanks so much 🙏 dang sounds good! Let me know what you think of texture 🥩❤️
👏
🙌🙌🙌
thanks for sharing but how can you tell the mold is safe to eat or not? despite you mop them off
Mold is a crazy topic in the cured meat world. I have eatin every kind and color and never got sick. A clean healthy room will produce white and maybe green molds which everyone seems to think is fine to eat. Orange and purple and black is were eyebrows start to raise . If seen , wipe it off and finish drying it. You should be fine. I’ve never heard anyone get sick from salami mold unless they’re allergic. But it’s hard to find black and white information on it.
@@MatttheButcher thank you so much! In fact in our country we dont have that much of dry aged knowledge,so I can only trying to figure out on youtube, appreciate! subscribed!
@@Damienwu awesome! I’m glad you’re getting into it 🙏
Ha. Turphecken. Hilarious. Thanks Matt. This is just the video i need. I am a mad cook and love starting with a full bird for most recipes. I had never heard of tunnel boning but its perfectly logical. Just bought a new smoker so, this will be fun. Cheers from Australia. 🍻🍗
Amazing!!! Love this helped you out, let me know how it comes out ! Cheers sir
And of course if you dont plan on making any stock & have dogs always give the dog that bone. I always hook my dog up with the trimmings (And before u guys come for me dogs can have raw chicken bones, not cooked ones. Cooked ones splinter)
Great idea!
27:57 😂
Too funny
What if mine is less than 10 inches?
It’s all about how you use it 😉
Thank you for this video. Your solution to humidity is simple, and the tips on reducing humidity over time erysipelas valuable. I've cured cuts of meats before, but am.only just starting with salami. So this tutorial was incredibly valuable. Q: What was the recipie for the very dark salami? It looked so good!
Thank you so much! I actually have a video dedicated to the dark night salami in my long format videos. Recipe is in the description 🙏
Gods ballon , what uf tou put helium
I often wonder how high it would go with helium !
@@MatttheButcher you never know! Why not do it??
Nothing I can't afford to pay attention now a days... I'm an old man..Everything is so expensive..If I pay a bill I can't eat... I'm sure someone will leave me a mean comment but everyone be blessed
No judgement here my friend!! If you come to Pullman market one day I’ll buy you a steak on the house 🙏
@@MatttheButcher That is very kind of you been a while since I had a steak.. I'm an old man who fought for my country I'm no one special just a small fish in a big pond...you be blessed..I liked and subscribed
Damn that looks like a great meat counter!
Thank you sir 🙏
My family bought a whole cow this spring to save money and grilled a lot of the steaks we got.
That’s very smart of you guys!!! Awesome to hear that.
My family also bought a whole cow and split it up ourselves. Saved us a lot of money and we still got steaks to grill out this 4th.
Because most Americans are fighting just to buy basic groceries now I would say that hotdogs were the number one item grilled for the holiday this year. And really a grilled hotdog tastes pretty good and feeds a group fairly cheap. Yes some people grilled steak and chicken and such. That's great and part of being an American. But I would bet that hotdogs were the number one item grilled.
I love a good a hot dog!!! Grew up on them 🙌 cheers
Hotdogs have always been the number 1 most common at all cookouts but yeah
Fish😊
Awesome! What kind??
Hi Matt Great video. Can you make the longer drying meats in the wine fridge, like prosciutto
Hi! Yes you can cure smaller whole muscles like coppa, bresaola and lomo in the wine fridge , larger pieces like prosciutto I wouldn’t recommend unless you have a large refrigerator , hope that helps !
An amazing process and recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Of course thank you for the comment :)
I dry cured a lozino and copa. Both weighted about 2lbs. 51 degrees and 73 humidity pretty consistent. They dried in 5 weeks . 35% weight loss. 5 weeks seems fast think something went wrong?
That is pretty quick, what did you wrap the loin meat in?
Collagen sheets.
@@pdc9313 maybe try beef bung next time and lower fan activity
If you want just the meat from the bone and no skin, do you skin it first or after de-boning?
I have a curing chamber that every day kicks the humidity up or 97% and within an hour it then goes back to 72-77 for the other 23 hours of the day. It does it daily on purpose in this ok?
Yeah that’s normal for these units , I wouldn’t worry , just don’t over crowd your salumi and make sure you rotate them from back to front and inside to outside , hope that helps 🙌
Yes it’s worth it. If you like cook. Yes
I live this slicer !
The blade guard and integral sharpener are essential. Also, having the carriage and support components made of metal is critical - you do NOT want any of these parts flexing. And having the slider bar underneath the slicer protects it from contamination. If you can pick a slicer up easily, it isn't built well enough. If the slicer is heavy enough to not slide on the counter (and takes both hands to carry), it might be good. Basically, if the design is the same style that professional delis use, it will probably work. Beswood and KWS are the best of the bargain price slicers (with spare parts available). Berkel is characteristic of midprice slicers, and Hobart and Globe make top end slicers at high prices. There are other good slicers, but they need to be assessed individually.
Nice, great addition ! Thank you
@MatttheButcher you're welcome. Basically it comes down to: there are reasons that professional slicers are designed the way they are. Following that design comes with a relatively high minimum cost. And any divergence from that design is suspect.
@@aaronbredon2948 So this slicer has your approval? I am in the market for one to make shaved turkey, roast beef, etc.. but would not know where to start in my search.
@@travelinggirl6681 Beswood has better fit & finish, while KWS has more parts available (including blade removal tools and matching blades). Both have US headquarters and warehouses. I would recommend both brands equally. I would avoid Vevor, as there have been reports that they can't even supply replacement blades. Without spare parts, any problem requires a full replacement.
Hi, Can I use T-SPX instead of BLC - 007?
Hi yes you can , hope that helps
Thank you!
@@MatttheButcher I don't have kosher salt, can I replace it with Himalayan pink salt?
Dude, YOU ROCK, ABSOLUTELY GENIUS
Thank you 🙌
Matt, just subscribed brother. Tell me, what is the best book to get for what you’re doing with meat. (Couturier?) Got a meat grinder, lem stuffer, I’m about ready to launch. Need a cure box and am looking. Glad I found ya!
Awesome! I’m glad you’re ready to rock. Great books to start is “charcuterie” and “salumi” by Bryan Polcyn also Marianski books on curing , hope that helps thanks
@@MatttheButcher just ordered both recommendations. I’m type 2. Gotta cut carbs out, going to meat. Thanks brother!
@@gregshirk7220 awesome!!! More meat , less sugar , better health !! Good luck friend ❤️💪
How would you shave meat with the slicer like the deli guys
Just thinner setting on this one , hope that helps
You can cut actual slices paper thin or get shredded meat simply by setting the thickness dial properly and slightly adjusting how you cut. This slicer and the equivalent KWS are basically just sized down versions of the slicers that deli counters use. There are other brands with similar slicers, but parts may not be available - both KWS and Beswood sell parts and have a US headquarters/warehouse.
@@aaronbredon2948 Very informative, thank you!
The smoothness says "I know what im doing"
😂 thank you
Hi in your recipe you have Salt 2.55% 51g . My question is in that quantity is included the sodium nitrate ? or not
Hi there , it is not included in the 2.55% salt. If you look a few lines down it says pink salt #2 which is at 0.25% .. hope that helps thanks 🙌
I wonder if this can be used with a slow cooker to make bone broth.
You probably could but if you use a slow cooker on low it should stay around 180-190
Thank you! Just what I was looking for. I was having trouble with my knots slipping off the casing while they were hanging to dry. Much appreciated 🙏
Awesome glad I could help 🙌
I'll try to do with pork meat
Yes!! I bet it’ll be amazing
😂 cook it til the meat falls off the bone ez
Or that too!! 😂💪
that's pretty good!
Thank you 🙌🙌
