Mix well and then knead with your hands for 5 minutes. The presence of minced meat will allow the finished beef ham to keep its shape well, since the fine fraction will fill all the voids between larger pieces. If it is inconvenient to stir in a bag, do it in a bowl. Form a loaf of the desired diameter, trying to compact the future ham as best as possible. Tie the edges like candy.

For cooking, choose a pan so that the loaf fits freely in it. Pour water and boil, lower the ham. Immediately turn the heat to minimum, cover with a lid and cook for 80 minutes, there should be practically no boiling. The rule here is simple: 10 minutes of heat treatment for every centimeter of diameter. In this case, the diameter is 8 centimeters. After turning off the stove, let it cool completely naturally in the water, and then put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours. There the process of aging the ham will continue.

    As the ham cools, it will continue to “cook” and become dry. To prevent this from happening, when ready, you should immediately throw it into ice water and cool it for 15 minutes.
