2491 Pressed Beef

Salt beef is also used in the preparation of pressed beef but for this, salted brisket of beef is generally used.

After cooking the beef in the same way as indicated for salt beef, cut it into large pieces of the same size as the moulds used for pressing it; lay them on top of each other to fill the moulds, which are usually square or rectangular.

Place the cover or a thick board of the same inside dimensions as the mould on top and apply pressure with the mould’s attachments or by placing heavy weights on top. Leave the beef to cool as it is then place in a refrigerator to become quite cold and set.
