Making pastirma part 1 of 3, post008
This is the first video of three showing the production of pastirma, a salted spiced meat from the middle east, originating from Turkey. I made up this recipe as a composite of multiple recipes found online. Although this is a traditional dish, this particular recipe variation is mine.
In the video here I demonstrate how to prepare the meat for salting. I began with an eye of round roast that was 6.2 pounds. After trimming, it was 4.7 pounds. I demonstrate salting the meat and pressing it between two pans, using 16 pounds of bricks as weights.
In the subsequent videos I will demonstrate the remainder of the preparation and the final product.

In case DTube isn’t playing nicely with my video, I am posting a link to the YouTube version here.

Great quality video, Cant wait to see the final product. Then I will have a challenge for your next project. Very similar product, just a different taste. Then you can compare and tell me which one is better, lol.
Thanks! I'm up for a challenge as long as it doesn't require extensive technology since my kitchen is pretty limited.
Waaaoooooo

The Pastirma is too good. Well slice with a good bread shell and accompanying a good red wine is the best.
I loved the video and when can do it... I will not buy it. jijijiji
Thanks for the recipe.
La Pastirma es demasiado buena. Bien rebanada con un buen pan de concha y acompañando un buen vino tinto es lo máximo.
Me encanto el vídeo y cuando pueda la haré... No la compraré. jijijiji
In the US it sells for upwards of $50 per pound. I found my costs were less than $15 per pound. The recipe still needs tweaking, but I'm planning to make the next batch in the fall.
That joke. In Venezuela that the prices are crazy not reaching 7 dollars per Kg.
$7/kg is about $3/lb. Is that right? Maybe, it you're thinking "Pastrami" not "Pastirma"
We can get top of the line "Pastrami" for about $10 per pound, but "Pastirma" isn't made in the US so we have to import it from Turkey, which is why it costs $50 per pound.
No amigo. Pastirma o Basterma hecho por árabes y comprado en sus tiendas. Es real. La carne que se utiliza es un corte de lomito. Es muy bueno.
That could be part of my problem. I'm living in a small town in a very rural location. There is one Middle Eastern store, but it is very limited and they don't have pastirma. Perhaps in a larger city I could find it. Ordering it online is expensive.
