For a spicier salami, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture. Experiment with different spices and herbs, such as fennel seeds, coriander, or smoked paprika, to create your own signature salami flavor. Ensure the salami is fully chilled before slicing for clean, even slices. For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the salami reaches 160°F (71°C) during simmering.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, black pepper, minced garlic, ground mustard seed, and curing mixture until just blended. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in a tough salami. (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
Step
24 hrs
Divide the mixture into 2 or 4 even rolls, ensuring each is tightly wrapped in aluminum foil to maintain its shape and prevent water from seeping in during cooking. Refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the curing process to begin. (24 hours)
03
Step
1 hrs
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the wrapped salami rolls into the simmering water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Simmer for 1 hour over medium-low heat, maintaining a consistent temperature. (1 hour)
04
Step
15 mins
Remove the rolls carefully from the water and gently poke holes in the foil to allow any accumulated liquid to drain. Set aside to cool slightly. (15 minutes)
05
Step
3 hrs
Remove the foil and rewrap each roll tightly with fresh aluminum foil. Refrigerate until fully chilled and firm, approximately 3 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture and sliceability. (3 hours)
06
StepOnce fully chilled, remove the foil and slice the salami thinly. Enjoy on sandwiches, crackers, salads, or as a delectable snack.

Jun 28, 2025The key is to not overmix the meat mixture. I learned that the hard way the first time I made it. It's still delicious, but a bit tougher.
