Instructions

1

Preparation and Marinating

2-4 hours

Cut beef into strips, mix all spices and evenly rub the meat. Rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, then bring to room temperature.

2

Smoking

2-3 hours

Preheat smoker to 110-120 °C. Add alder and cherry wood chips. Distribute meat strips on the grate and smoke until a core temperature of 60-65 °C is reached.

3

Finishing in the Pan

10 minutes

Quickly sear smoked meat strips in a hot pan. Prepare a creamy sauce with mushrooms, cream, a little mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Combine everything and serve with pasta or rice.

Pro Tip

Smoke the meat only to a core temperature of 60-65 °C so it does not overcook when subsequently seared in the pan. This keeps it tender and juicy.
