Bresaola Ingredients

Method

Bresaola Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Trim any excess fat from the beef eye round and ensure it is clean and dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, rosemary, thyme, and crushed garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Curing Process

    Rub the cure evenly over the beef, ensuring all surfaces are covered. Place the beef in a non-reactive dish and pour the red wine over it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5-7 days, turning the meat every couple of days.

  4. 4

    Drying the Beef

    After curing, rinse the beef under cold water to remove excess salt and spices. Pat dry with paper towels. Hang the beef in a cool, dry place or use a dehydrator set to 15-18°C (59-65°F) for about 2-3 weeks until it is firm and dry.

  5. 5

    Slicing and Serving

    Once dried, slice the bresaola thinly and serve with arugula, shaved Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.
