#### 2. **Season**

Rub the meat all over with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, and herbs. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge (or overnight for deeper flavor).

#### 3. **Wrap and Roll**

Place the seasoned meat on a large sheet of cling film and roll it tightly into a log, twisting the ends. Then wrap it again in aluminum foil, securing the ends like a candy wrapper.

#### 4. **Cook Gently**

Bring a pot of water to a simmer (not a rolling boil) and place the wrapped meat inside. Let it poach gently for **45–60 minutes**, depending on thickness.

Alternatively, you can **bake it** in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 45 minutes.

#### 5. **Cool and Slice**

Let it cool completely in the fridge (at least 3–4 hours, or overnight) before unwrapping and slicing into thin cold cuts.
