Pure sea salt works better, You can also toast your Coriander for 2-3 minutes on medium heat to really bring out the flavor. Brown sugar also helps a lot with the flavor. With a love for Biltong from SA. Love your video Glen.

Geat breakdow . I agree with the loasted coriander (cilantro?), maybe grind the pepper corns as well. White pepper also works great and avoid sodium nitrate.

Brown sugar and Paprika.

Thanks for the video! Your technique is closest to mine as I've seen on youtube so far. Many people like to overcomplicate it. :) cheers

Nice one! I followed your guide and the batch of biltong came out great.

Great video. I'm an expat from SA living on the east coast (Virginia) where we have a lot of humidity so I'm hanging mine in a biltong box with a fan. I bought pre-made spice mix online, but I want to mix my own, so thanks for showing the mix ratios.

You are welcome! Try cutting the meat a bit thinner, add some peri peri to the mix and make some chili bites.

Brilliant video. I’ve built myself a biltong box from a plastic crate, wooden dowels and a computer fan. I used to buy Safari Spice from my local Saffer shop but last time I just used salt and coriander. This specific mix with the measurements is great and I’ll use that next time. I live in Perth, Western Australia and my biltong takes between three and five days to dry depending on time of year. Totsiens en sterkte😊

Thank you, and I agree on toasting the coriander. I’ve started adding a little bit of nutmeg and cloves to my spice mix recently, and so far so good.

@@glenbryant1 thinking the old traditional Pickling Spice mix (used for Canning since the beginning of time ;) )) might be a cool 1 shot mix to get that nutmeg and cloves with a few subtle extras and super accessible 🤟

Just place the spices in a tray and press the biltong into it.

First batch hanging to dry now, wish me luck!

Why did you use iodized salt instead of kosher or any other pure salt?

It is what I had in the pantry. Any salt works.

If i dont use the Worcestershire sauce, will it still work and be tasty or no?

How long can It store for?

@glenbryant1

2 жыл бұрын

I take the biltong down after 3 - 4 days of drying and freeze any pieces that I want to store in Ziplock bags. I do so to store it safely (as well as hiding it...) and to stop the drying process. Once I'm ready to eat it, I take it out of the ziplocks and let it thaw for a few hours before slicing and eating it.
