Dear Dave,
The roast needs to be dry enough to run through a deli slicer and get thinly sliced. As dry as chipped beef (or Bresaola) would be good I think.
Dear Lamar,
Yes, cooler dedicated to drying this meat. Not opened too often, only few times a day. the fresh steak roasts i get here are a bit moist i guess.
photo taken after 200 w light bulb has been running all day. Now i turn off the fridge for 30 min to defrost (manual defrost). Turn it back on and let it run all night with light bulb off.
I had trouble drying steak roasts in my commercial fridge..
Fridge powered by a 2/3 hp compressor, exposed coils/ drain, and no fan as seen below.
With a little research, i discovered the light bulb trick: I ran a 200 w light bulb during the day and switched it off at night.
i got better...
