Smoked Beef


DanM

Recommended Posts

One of the surprises from our move to Switzerland is the availability of kosher charcuterie. Sausages of all types, confit, mousse, rietttes, etc... One of the recent finds is this block of smoked beef. It has a nice fat layer in the middle. Any thoughts on how to use it? Should I slice it thin and then fry?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Here is a picture of the piece I bought. The package simply says Boeuf fumé from Buchinger.

It was not edible raw... too tough and the fat layer was unpleasant.

Looks like they suggest a braise http://buchinger.fr/product.php?id_product=113

 

I was planning on braising a turkey roll for dinner in a stew of random veg, canned tomatoes, wine, and herbs. I pulled out a little into a small pan and braised this chunk of cow... It was perfect if not just a little over done after an hour.
