1

Start by using almost 3 kg of fraldinha for the charque.

2

Sprinkle approximately 200 g of pink salt over the beef, ensuring to coat it without over-salting.

3

Cover the beef and let it rest for two days at room temperature, ensuring it is well covered with a lid or plastic wrap.

4

After two days, remove the brine and rinse the beef to eliminate excess salt.

5

Place the beef back in the container and add approximately 300 g of pink salt, repeating the coating process.

6

Cover the beef again and let it rest for another two days.

7

After the second resting period, dry the beef thoroughly using a clean plate or paper towels.

8

Cut the beef to check its interior and ensure it has the desired texture.

9

Sprinkle a little more salt on the beef for preservation.

10

Use a piece of wire to hang the beef outside to dry in the sun for about 2-3 hours, just to firm up the exterior.
