I used the recipe from the book 'Charcuterie' but used half the amount of beef than in the recipe as couldnt get a piece big enough...therefore the dry ingredients (salt, sugar, pinksalt, etc) were double what they should be in regards to the ratio of beef to mix.
I hot smoked it until it was ready in the middle then transferred it to a pan full of simmering water and then in the oven for an hour.
It came out looking like an over cooked piece of roast beef (grey and dry looking in the middle) with dots of pink on the outside...
Any ideas?
