Salt Beef

Salt beef needs seven days to brine, so you’ll need to think ahead. You’ll be left with plenty of leftovers, though, perfect for sandwiches like our salt beef sandwich, opposite. You can ask your butcher to roll the meat, so it is easier to brine and then cook, but flat is just fine. The salt beef can also be bought already salted from an artisan butcher to avoid the seven day process but it is fun to experiment, and smoked salmon can also be used instead of salt beef.
