Method

Preparation of Bresaola

  1. 1

    Curing the Beef

    In a bowl, mix sea salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub this mixture thoroughly all over the beef, ensuring it is well-coated.

  2. 2

    Wrapping

    Wrap the seasoned beef tightly in cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. This will help absorb moisture as it cures.

  3. 3

    Curing Time

    Place the wrapped beef in a dish in the fridge. Allow it to cure for 2-3 weeks, turning the meat every few days to ensure even curing.

Serving Preparation

  1. 4

    Slicing the Bresaola

    After the curing period, remove the beef from the fridge and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice the bresaola thinly against the grain.

  2. 5

    Plating

    Arrange the bresaola slices on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and top with fresh arugula and shaved Parmesan cheese.
