Raw-cured beef
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Homemade air-dried beef you make yourself is always very tasty and good for you! Overall, the meat takes about 12 days to prepare: first you need to salt it, then marinate it and keep it in a draft, turning it constantly and coating it with marinade. I hope everything turns out well for you. Serve with greens and sauce.
