Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon mustard seed
2 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seed, curing salt, black pepper and liquid smoke. Mix in the red pepper flakes if desired. Roll the mixture into a 2 inch diameter log, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Make a few slits in the bottom of the roll to allow the fat to drain when cooking. Place roll onto a broiler pan, and fill the bottom part of the pan with about 1 inch of water to keep the salami moist.
Bake for 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from pan and cool completely before unwrapping the salami. Slice and eat as lunch meat, or serve on a tray with crackers and cheese.

Tips:

Choose high-quality meat: The type of meat you use will greatly impact the flavor of your salami. Look for meat that is fresh, lean, and well-trimmed.
Grind the meat correctly: The grind size will also affect the texture of your salami. For a fine-textured salami, grind the meat through a small (3/16-inch) plate. For a coarser-textured salami, use a larger (1/4-inch) plate.
Use the right spices: The spices you use will give your salami its unique flavor. Experiment with different combinations of spices to find one that you like.
Cure the meat properly: Curing is a process that helps to preserve the meat and develop its flavor. There are two main types of curing: dry curing and wet curing. Dry curing involves rubbing the meat with salt and spices and then hanging it to dry. Wet curing involves soaking the meat in a brine solution.
Smoke the salami (optional): Smoking the salami will give it a smoky flavor. You can smoke the salami before or after it is cured.
Age the salami: Aging the salami will help to develop its flavor and texture. The longer you age the salami, the more intense its flavor will be.

Conclusion:

Making salami at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and unique salami that you can enjoy with your friends and family.
