A friend of mine from another forum named Ahron lives in South Africa, but was born in Romania. He was greatly interested in my pastramă project, and decided to give it a try:
 
Quote As a Romanian born i decided to give it ago

The meat is sirloin 4.4 lb cut it in to two pieces   and rub them with  this curing rub

  • 1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp  Hungarian paprika
  • 2 tsp  summer savory
  • 1 tsp  ground allspice
  • 1  tsp  ground coriander
  • 1 tsp  fenugreek
  • 4 tbs  fresh crushed-and-minced garlic
  • 1 tsp juniper berries
  • 4 tbs TQ

Then it gone in to a zip look bag  in to the fridge for 9 days i turned them every day 

On the 10 day i clean the meat under   running water and place in an ice bath for 2 hours

Place it on a rack in the fridge next day i rubbed   the two pieces with B Pepper , paprika, and hot Hungarian paprika . put them in a net    the big piece in to the smoker for 8 hours 80’f With  cherry wood   . The small piece in to the cellar to dry for 4 days .

Here are the result .

The flavor of the smoked Pastrama is great  i made an omelet  with it yummy  . it will great on salad or Sammie's

The dry Pastrama got such  a fine flavor the only way i can describe it  it is like fine prosciutto  .

i think he's a really interesting fellow. being romanioan-born and living in south africa, i am sure that he would have quite a few great things to share, and would love to have him here.
