Ingredients
- 1000 g pork loin preferably with a layer of back fat
- 27.5 g kosher salt 2.75%
- 2.5 g Cure #2 0.25%
- 5 g black pepper coarsley ground; 0.5%
- 5 g white sugar 0.5%
- 2 g dried rosemary ground; 0.2%
- 3 g dried coriander ground; 0.3%
- 0.5 g garlic powder about a 1/4 tsp; 0.05%
- 0.75 g dried bay leaves about 2 bay leaves; ground; 0.075%
Instructions
- Weigh the meat in grams. Divide by 1000, then multiply each ingredient by that number. For example, if your pork loin weighs 2650 g, you need to multiply the ingredients specified above by 2.65.
- Mix the salts, sugar, and ground spices together, and rub them on the meat. Place the pork loin and all the extra salt and seasonings in a vacuum-sealable bag and seal. You can also use a Ziploc bag, making sure to expel as much air out of it as possible.
- Place the bag in the fridge for 14 days. Flip the bag every day or so, and give it a quick massage every time you flip it.
- After 14 days have passed, remove the meat from the bag and blot it with paper towels.
- Dry in the curing chamber for 7 days at 68F-70F (20C-21C) and 68%-75% RH.
- During drying, cold-smoke 4 times, about 8-12 hours per smoking session. The smoking temperature must not exceed 68F (20C).
- Mature in the curing chamber at 54F - 57F (12C - 14C) and 72%-75% for 2-3 months until firm and about a 30% weight loss.
- When the meat is ready, shave off any moldy spots, slice as thinly as possible, and enjoy.
