Smoked beef (rookvlees)

[bgroen]

We have just bought a 4 tray digital smoker and have been experimenting with it and would like to know if anyone has a curing recipe for Dutch smoked beef (rookvlees) and info on what to smoke it with and times.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,  Bernie

Well I found a recipe. But have a question. Do you speak Dutch. LOLTosti met raclettekaas, spinazie en rookvlees

8 sneetjes brood
200g diepvriesspinazie
4 plakjes raclettekaas
4 plakjes rookvlees
8 el bechamelsaus
50g boter
30g boter (extra)
zout
- Besmeer de sneetjes brood aan 1 kant dun met boter
- stoof de spinazie zachtjes in boter en laat uitlekken in een vergiet
- schep de spinazie door de bechamelsaus. Breng op smaak met peper en zout.
- Verdeel het mengsel over 4 sneetjes brood. Leg er dan 1 plakje rookvlees en 1 plakje raclettekaas op
- leg de overgebleven sneetjes brood erbovenop en bak ongeveer 2 min aan elke kant.

I'm impressed what did you mean Bing's translation? But to me it still don't make sense.Like what is? raclettekaas, non-meat, el bechamel sauce? Ok I have found out the Raclettekaas is a sort of cheese product. And the sauce is a simple grease,flour and water type of gravy.  Still never heard off a non meat?

Depending what browser you use you can highlight your recipe, right click on it and then left click "translate with Bing". I use Internet explorer for my browser mostly. I think the"non meat" might be smoked meat, I dont speak dutch, poor translation.

Sorry for the late post. I missed this when it was first posted it.

You may want to try the link below. That guy has also been searching, and developed a recipe, but he also provides some hints on were he got his initial information from.

Making Dutch ROOKVLEES

If you are using a Bradley, in his description of applying 12 hours of smoke over a three day period, you may want to use my smoking method outlined in Triple Smoked Bacon recipe, and cut the smoke to 9 hours (3 hours per day)

Like what is? raclettekaas, non-meat, el bechamel sauce?

Rackettkaas is reclette cheese.  If you ever have the real thing in your fridge you'll understand where the phrase "Who cut the cheese" came from.

the el stands for Esslöffel - basically tablespoon

If you ever made Lasagna you'll know what Bechamel is.  Written Dutch is similar to written German but to pronounce it properly you have to cough up a loogi and keep it in your throat whilst speaking  ;D ;D ;D
