Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Try to get your butcher to run the meat through the grinder a few times. A food processor will do the trick also.

2. 2

   Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Knead for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Shape into two tightly formed loaves.

5. 5

   Bake on broiler pan for 2 to 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. 6

   Cool loaves and slice into thick slabs.

7. 7

   Meat can be frozen for future use. If (like me) you are not fortunate enough to own your own rotary-stick-cooker thing like the ones in the good shops, you may find that the inner parts of the loaf are not browned enough. This can be remedied by re-heating the meat in a frying pan. This browns it nicely and gives it that slightly chewier texture.
