Mix all ingredients and massage vigorously into the pared fillets. If you like the meat less salty, you can reduce the amount of salt by 5 - 10 g. Everyone should find out for themselves.
Then vacuum seal the fillets individually and let them rest in the refrigerator for 3 days. Massage briefly and turn once a day.
Wash the meat briefly and pat dry. Now rub the spices for the crust. I usually make several fillets, using herbs and spices for each one. Now vacuum seal again individually and place in the refrigerator again for 2 days.
Take out the fillets and let them sit for 2-3 hours at room temperature. Now it`s time to hot smoke, I`ll do it with a smoker.
Bring the smoker to a constant temperature of 110 - 130 ° C. Smoke the fillets with a lot of smoke (I use beech wood) to a core temperature of 65 ° C. This takes about 2 hours.
Let the meat cool and put in the fridge for a day.
It tastes best when it is very finely sliced.
Tip: If the weather does not cooperate with smoking, it is also no problem to extend the rest days by one day at a time.
