Place the meat in a container with a lid, pour in the previously prepared marinade, and thoroughly rub the marinade over the meat.

Cover the container with a lid and leave at room temperature for 48 hours, turning the meat occasionally.

After two days, take out the balyk, remove it from the marinade and wipe it very well with dry cloths.

Peel the garlic and pass it through a press, then rub the balyk thoroughly with it, give the meat a massage :) Transfer it to cheesecloth and wrap it.

Wrap the meat in gauze in parchment and tie it with nylon thread, hang the balyk for 10 days at a temperature not exceeding 20 degrees.
