Steps:

  • Cut the beef into strips about 4cm thick. Pack the meat into a smallish bowl, so that it fits tightly.
  • Add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Leave for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the coriander and pepper together in another bowl.
  • In a third bowl, mix the salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda together.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade, but reserve the marinade for later use.
  • Add the beef to the bowl of spices, mixing it around until evenly coated. Save any spices that don't stick.
  • Bury the spiced beef in the salt and the sugar mixture and leave it for 3 hours.
  • Remove the beef from the brine and dip it back into the reserved vinegar marinade for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade and using the vinegar, wash all the salt off (don't skip this bit or the biltong will be unbearably salty).
  • Squeeze the beef to remove as much liquid as possible. Roll in the spices once more. The meat is now ready for hanging.
  • Cut lengths of string, and tie them tightly around one end of each beef strip. Tie the string to the top of your hanging contraption and make sure that they hang freely without touching anything on the sides or bottom.
  • Leave the strips hanging for 3-20 days in a warm, dry place. It is difficult to say exactly how long it will take for the biltong to reach the correct stage, it's basically when the meat is as tough as old boots!

BILTONG

Biltong is one of those things that everyone has their own opinion of... how to salt, how to spice, how wet/dry it should be, etc. This is my personal favourite recipe which is simple and straight-forward. It is excellent as is, but feel free make changes to the spice mixture to suit your tastes.

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat off the meat.
  • Slice meat along the grain no thicker than 1.5cm.
  • Cut those slices into strips of 3-5cm wide.
  • Combine sugar, baking soda and black pepper.
  • Roast coriander in a pan over a medium heat for 2 minutes and then crush it fine.
  • Mix into the sugar mixture.
  • Pour vinegar into a flat dish and drag meat strips through the vinegar coating them well.
  • I use my cooler box for this next step in the process: sprinkle a handful of salt over the bottom of the cooler box and cover with a layer of meat strips.
  • Sprinkle the meat with a layer of salt and then the spice mixture.
  • Keep layering the meat, salt and spices finishing with a layer of salt and spices.
  • Close cooler box and leave to stand for 24 hours.
  • Discard any left over vinegar.
  • When you open the cooler box, there will be a lot of water drawn from the meat and the salt should be dissolved.
  • Take the meat out of the cooler and place on a tray.
  • Remove any large pieces of salt that may still be on the meat.
  • It is your choice if you still want to pat the meat dry, I never do.
  • Discard the water in the cooler.
  • Using a paperclip opened to resemble an "S", hook each meat strip and hang to dry.
  • I use a biltong box because the biltong is dry within 3 days of hanging - conventional methods take much longer.

16 WAYS TO EAT BILTONG, SOUTH AFRICA’S SIGNATURE SNACK FOOD

From afktravel.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Original Beef Biltong. Might as well get this one out of the way. The original sliced beef biltong is the most common way to eat biltong–like a beef jerky.
  • Biltong Baked Potato. Why use bacon when you can go for the more exotic and adventurous biltong to accompany your baked potatoes? Every bite of your biltong baked potato will melt in your mouth and you can feel its oozy cheesiness and spices from the meat as it rolls around your tongue.
  • Peri Peri Biltong. This biltong packs a wallop. Alternatively called the pili pili, when sampling this snack, eat at your own risk because it’s laden with chili that will leave your mouth burning for a long time.
  • Biltong Quiche. Once again, biltong can be substituted for bacon in this dish, which makes for a far richer taste. Like any quiche, the biltong quiche is just as delicious if complimented with various vegetables and herbs.
  • Biltong Sandwich. Sliced biltong makes an excellent cold cut as well. Its strong flavors will require you to use less sauce and it will take longer to finish because of its chewy texture.
  • Biltong Salad. Your dietitian will nod approval at this healthy dish, especially if you went with the ostrich biltong that is known to be rich in iron and protein.
  • Biltong Pizza. Unlike biltong salad, your dietitian will probably not approve of this. No need for Italian sausages or pepperoni when you can use biltong as a topping.
  • Biltong Taco. ¡Aye caramba! This easy-to-eat dish is a party in your mouth. Who doesn’t love it when you can fuse two great recipes together?
  • Biltong-Sprinkled Mac n’ Cheese. This dish is designed to satisfy the kid in you with its gooey goodness, melted cheese and meaty bites. You’ll be fighting for a second helping from your family members, especially your kids.
  • Biltong Soup. There is nothing more perfect than biltong soup on a cold winter night to comfort you with its warmth and tasty flavors. Biltong can be added to multiple soups including bleu cheese, broccoli n’ cheese, seafood chowder, or any creamy soup.
