Abstract Kazakh dry-cured beef is a traditional meat product with nomadic characteristics. In this study, changes in the physicochemical properties and sensory quality of Kazakh dry-cured beef were investigated during its processing. The moisture content decreased (P < 0.05) from 74.05 to 58.72 g/100 g during processing, the protein content increased (P < 0.05) from 20.28 to 32.69 g/100 g, and the fat content increased (P < 0.05) from 1.96 to 3.95 g/100 g. The manufacturing process affected lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARs) values (P < 0.05). The pH did not change significantly (P > 0.05) during processing. Processing changed the appearance characteristics of raw beef. The final product had a dry hard surface, showing a brown color and unique flavor. This research will provide a theoretical basis and a useful reference for commercialization of the traditional process of Kazakh dry-cured beef production.
