About

It’s easy to buy ready-made salt beef but so much more rewarding to make it yourself as then you’re in total control of the flavours and salinity. This keeps for ages in the freezer which means you have a steady supply of salt beef bagels for weeks to come. We use Prague Powder #1 in our curing brine but there are other curing mixtures available. Just be sure to follow the instructions as they come in different concentrations.
