I am an angler in Scandinavia Home Recipe No. 134 Pastirma Egyptian Style with rib eye steak

First a few facts: Pastirma is a spicy, air-dried and hardened piece of meat, which was cooked in the Ottoman Empire in the fall. Maybe even smoked over horse manure. It was originally the method the Ottomans used to preserve their meat. However, the method is widespread from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Ukraine, Syria, Armenia and Uzbekistan (Tashkent - Samarkand), perhaps further east, but my journey ended in Tashkent.
