@Silkymits2000 I'm glad you liked the vid! Yes, it is a simple recipe. My wife and boys prefer it plain too – I have to keep constantly making batches now 🙂 If you can't find a naturally brewed apple cider, perhaps try naturally brewed brown vinegar instead. Also, you can reduce (or extend) the salting time to your taste – the longer the rock salt is left on the meat the saltier it becomes. We've found 1:30 hours is just right. Cheers, Mark
Very nice. I have made jerky from scratch using eye of round roast and that has turned out pretty tasty. After dehydrating, I put the jerky in a smoker oven for a few minutes to pick up a nice smoky taste. Hope you'll take a look sometime. Your video makes Biltong Beef look very easy to do. Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks for that. I like the smoker idea – will have to give that a try and also check out your meat videos. Cheers!
Thanks mate! The "sit" part is actually the salting time the meat is left to salt – don't leave the meat salt any more then 1.5 hours or it becomes too salty. Yes, there are alternatives to drying – if you live in a hot/dry climate air drying is possible or you can make a "drying box" pretty easily (and cheaply). The name "biltong" is a South Africian term – bil (rear of the beast) and tong (strips) = meat strips. Biltong is the name given after the process. I use standard topside meat. Cheers
I made dryer out of a plastic 100 liter box I bought in a Chinese. The box is placed with its long side vertical. At the bottom back installed a 120mm computer fan (from power unit) protected outside with a mosquito net, At the bottom a ceramic socket that can take a 60w spot lamp or a 150w Infra Red heating lamp. Then 5 trays made of acrylic Egg Crate. The top part of the box I drilled 6600 mini holes ø2 mm in an array of 2,5 mm. To let the moist hot air out. Doing biltong tonight.
Wow! You should make a video out of that it sounds like a great DIY drying box – good on you. Personally me and my family are all hooked on biltong 🙂
Yeah, A Bty – one of the best Units I've every served with mate, Cheers, Mark 🙂
One day… I will get us a food dryer… We love beef jerky!
Thanx for the recipe, looks fairly easy 😉
I'm looking for this recipe on your website and it appears to be missing. A little help?
… every winter for the past several years, this is my go to sop for quick biltong. Dunno why the picture of beer and goblet stuck in my memories all these years. Cheers
