Instructions

Partially freeze the beef before processing to make sure it stays cold.
Cut the meat into 100-150 g pieces, remove sinew. Grind through a medium size plate (3/16" or 4.5 mm).
Mix the ground meat, spices, sugar, and the starter culture. Stuff into 28-32mm hog casings, making 18" (45 cm) links, and tie with twine.
Ferment at 71-77F (22-25C), 85-100% RH for about 48 hours in an area with good ventilation, until the meat firms up and turns dark red.
Dry cure at 55-57F and 70-75% RH for about 30-45 days until a target weight loss of about 55% is achieved.
Starting on day two of the drying stage, flatten the sujuk by gently rolling it with a roller. Do not press too hard otherwise the casings may burst. Continue doing this once a day for about 4-5 days.
Optionally, you may smoke sujuk for 12-24 hours during fermentation or drying, ensuring temperature and humidity conditions above are met, to obtain smoky flavor.
