Beef bacon is what you get in hotels in UAE. it is not very nice tasting, but that could be down to how they cook it.

Bacon can be done with either a cure or salt or brine. Keeping the pink is the challenge. I fancy doing beef bacon.

I've finally got around to having a go....we ordered a side of pig from our local butchers and set to work.

Small bone to clear and take off the rind....that's for later (scratchings).

On with the curing salt and spice mix..

All ready for the fridge for about 10 days..
