    I know it's not culturally acceptable in the US, but bresaola made with horse meat is even better.

      You wouldn't want to eat meat from a horse raised in the US. The horses get way too many shots and who knows what's in those shots

      I’d try it. During the American civil war they ate horse meat when they had to. I’m not sure why it’s considered unacceptable anymore. Probably because horses are mostly only for the wealthy anymore and are viewed as pets.

    Thank you so much for the education im receiving! I'm a 67 year old meat guy so I'm knowledgeable about cutting quality meats. Just started smoking this fall for my deer customers and excited about smoking and dry curing. Im going to buy a bottom round and make a variety of dry cured meats. Thanks again for your gift to our community.

    I can attest to Eric's description of Bresaola being a VERY easy recipe!
    If you can wait, I advise vac packing at least some of it and letting it age for about a year.
    _(I have an extra step in my recipe. After the cure is finished, but before the dry, I soak it in a decent dry red wine with more herbs. After about 10 days, I'll give it a light rinse, and do the drying process.)_
    I'm only a couple months away from mine from last year being ready to eat.

    This is my new favorite channel. I really appreciate you providing instructions for those of us without drying chambers. I followed Josh Weissmans cured duck breast recipe and was so inspired I started looking for other beginner videos and came across your channel. I was going to start with the capicola, but I have some friends who don’t do pork, so thought I’d try this instead. I just started the cure today and am really looking forward to the finished product. Thank you for such thorough instructions. My fridge is going to fill up quickly, gotta find a way to keep my wife from seeing it for a while :)

    Another, easy to follow way for more to make and enjoy charcuterie board
    treats without breaking the bank, no additional equipment, and months/years
    of cure time. Though we both love these meats, we only indulge in them 3-5
    days per year. It does however give an appreciation of what all goes into dry
    curing meats.
    Looking forward to the Sausage series.

    I think in Australia, NZ and UK the cut of beef you’re using would be a topside or silverside. I wonder how it would go with some lamb or mutton tbh? The problem with lamb is its very fatty, mutton is a lot leaner. What it would be good with though would be kangaroo. Very lean and a little gamey like venison.

      @@2guysandacooler I don't think that within 1-2 months process you can get that much taste difference. At least i could not. So I add starter cultures for faster acidification on the surface, using salami cultures available locally. And for vacuuming - you can see the difference in color if not the texture on what you've made. After vacuuming it get more even and gains more taste. Instead of the fancy film you show I use collagen film coming as a roll for the same purpose. From what you show and describe it looks very similar but I guess the price is quite different.

    Question: would it be possible to do the dry brining and the dry aging in one step? I have dry age vacuum seal bags that I use to dry age beef. Similar to the plant based steak wrap you show in the video, it lets moisture out but not back in. Would it be feasible to take the spice mixture, rub it onto the meat, then seal it in the dry age bag, then stick it directly in the fridge to dry brine and dry age simultaneously?

    Hi Eric!
    Is there a possible substitution for the steak wraps? Unfortunately I cannot get my hands on any... :(

    Great vid,. Would the vacum sealed bag be considered an anaerobic environment? or is an anaerobic environment only a concern during the hanging aging stage? Im new to all this

    • @2guysandacooler
      @2guysandacooler  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is correct. In a vac sealed bag there is an anaerobic environment. When the meat is hanging there is plenty of oxygen

    I am sure people have asked before, but does the size of the salt have an effect on curing? I know the size of salt crystals effects measure volumes but I am more interested in if there is a difference between large salt crystals like Kosher salt and smaller table salt crystals as to the curing itself.

    • @2guysandacooler
      @2guysandacooler  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven't found a huge difference. Fine grain distributes better but you use less of it (by volume). Kosher for instance is flakey but you use twice as much. Kosher is more expensive that fine grain. I use both but tend to go with fine grain more often than not as it's cheaper and produces the same results.

      @@2guysandacooler Okay, thats cool. Mostly curious from a "run out of one salt and need to substitute with another" situation, as it never seems to fail that you think you have plenty of a certain salt and then poof it is mysteriously missing or far less of it then you thought.
      Is there a means to make this recipe shelf stable for use without refrigeration?

    • @davidl6641
      @davidl6641 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find finely grained salt more convenient. It sticks to the surface of the product more easily and can be distributed more evenly. All industrial salts for curing which I saw so far with and without nitrites come as finely grained salts.

    • @2guysandacooler
      @2guysandacooler  ปีที่แล้ว

      Shelf stability can be achieved by drying longer. Adding cure helps out as well. If you have a water activity meter you could test your product once finished but other than that it's just a guess.

    • @davidl6641
      @davidl6641 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@iwartreskon6672 the only disadvantage I see in this method is that gauze does not affect the speed of evaporation. It is not a problem if you use a curing chamber with optimal temperature and humidity. In a regular fridge the humidity is much lower so a 1kg piece looses 1/3 of its weight in 30 days. Which is too fast for any taste to develop. And also a hard crust outside and cavities inside can form due to uneven drying.

      yes. Just make sure the temp is around 55f (this will give you better flavor development) and the humidity is between 75% and 80%. If you can't get a higher temp, then a lower temp is ok too..
