Biltong or beef jerkey
There was a request for a Biltong recipe from someone, and I really wish I could remember who. They were processing meat with salt and I said that we have biltong here in South Africa. So today I am going to skip Da Vinci and post a biltong recipe.
This is what Biltong looks like when finished. Now you can cut and enjoy.
Raw meat cut to be marinated.
Wet sliced meat being prepared to make biltong.
Recipe for making biltong
1. Cut the meat into 4 cm thick slices
2. 250 mg of vinegar for basting
3 . ½ cup of ground coriander
4. 2 tablespoons of ground black pepper
5. 2 tablespoons of seasalt
6. 2 teaspoons of paprika
Put your raw meat in a dish and marinade for 2 - 4 hours in the fridge
Remove, put hooks in and hang somewhere safe.
Hang till dry in a warm area, or in an enclosed area, so that nothing can get to it especially the kids LOL.
Dry up to the way you like it, some like it very dry others like it a bit wet, but totally delicious!
There are differnet ways of eating but preferably just in slices with some nice warm bread.
great work! keep it up!
Thanks it really is nice to eat.
I've never had biltong. How does the taste compare to beef jerky.
They are similar in a way but I prefer biltong to jerky; i like the wetter biltong so I might be a bit biased. The main difference besides the smoking and spicing of jerky is that biltong is made from raw meat while jerky is cooked first. This allows for more flavour and a better texture imho.
I think for me it would probably be a mental thing with being wetter. In my mind I'd be worried it wasn't safe to eat but I know it is.
This is easy.. I am going to buy me some meet and try it for myself
Biltong is the best
I 've just eaten and I am hungry again!
My son and I watch Duck Dynasty, and there was an episode about biltong. So we to try and make some. Thank you for posting.
Sorry only saw now the post was not quite open very easy and very nice
Yum yum yum
Looks yummy, does it taste life beef jerky?! But way much better
Yes it is way much better belieive me I only saw now it was not the full post so sorry.
I have also started to make my own biltong. Very satisfying and much much cheaper. Everybody says it is very nice............... Thank ou for sharing
I think my husband would love this! Thanks for the great recipe. It's great that these traditional methods of extending shelf life are still around---probably because, aside from being practical, they're delicious!
