Cured beef Explanation: Cecina is beef cured in the same way as Serrano ham (like parma ham), that is to say, salted and hung up in mountain lodges,and almost always comes from Leon, NE Spain. You could also go for Leon or Mountain cured beef. Whatever, it not nearly as dry as jerked beef which is sun-dried Mmmmmmmm |

smoked, dried beef Explanation: I think I'd leave it in Spanish with the explanation after it, i.e. "cecina (smoked, dried beef)". It's important to say that it's beef and not just any type of meat. Explanation: La Cecina de León se puede definir como ***carne de vacuno ahumada y desecada*** proveniente de los cuartos traseros del ganado vacuno. La cecina exteriormente tiene un color tostado pardo, ligeramente oscuro, propio del proceso de elaboración. Al corte el color es cereza a granate, acentuándose en los bordes al final del proceso madurativo. Además presentará un ligero veteado de grasa, que proporciona su jugosidad característica. Es una carne de sabor característico, ligeramente salada y de consistencia poco fibrosa. http://www.cecinadeleon.org/ht_cecina.html The above page has an English version as well, if you feel like browsing it. Here's a whole page about cecina, in English: There is a little-known food product found in European and American Gourmet stores that has its roots in 14th century Spain. It is a delectable, brown strip of dried beef known as Cecina de León and it has been delighting gourmands for centuries with its smoked and beefy flavor. However, upon closer examination, this "traditional" food product originally produced by peasants in the Spanish province of León is anything but "traditional." http://www.asoc-fulbright.es/fulcros/fulcro00/pag08.shtml |
