I'm American. I grew up eating Beef Jerky. My Friend from South Africa shared some biltong his mum sent him with me. It absolutely blew me away. Biltong craps on beef jerky. I like your rub. Similar to one I use except replace chili with granulated garlic.

Tried some biltong at a food festival and was smitten. Followed this recipe and used a home dehydrator and it came out fantastic...bought a proper slicer too! Thank you would never have thought I could.....love your other posts too.

Made this today here in Central Oregon. Got it going in a makeshift box with a small fan blowing on it. Great video, easy content to follow instructions and love the breakdown of the vid. Thank you for making this seem easy for a first timer.

"Uniquely South African for the whole world to enjoy" Is one of the best things I've heard someone say. Just because food originates in one place, that does not mean it cannot be enjoyed by people all over the world, it is fun to share and embrace cultures, and introduce people to something you have enjoyed for many years. I think a lot of people need to learn that lesson, so good on you for leaving that message in your video!

So a huge nod to you sir, this was the best Biltong I've ever had. I didn't use fennel and chilli, I added a little salt instead because I like salty meat in my mouth. I used a dehydrator with metal mesh and just laid them down it. 40 hours at 35c then sliced to 3mm. AMAZING! This one goes in my special book.

I am a South African living in the USA and have just made my first batch of biltong as a complete novice. Excellent tutorial and very tasty recipe! A great combination of spices in the correct ratios. All the intructions are clear and to the point. The recipe is easy to follow and the process quite fast and simple. I transformed a big cardboard box into a dryer by using a computer fan, light bulb and a wall vent. Covered all openings with window screen.

Canadian ex South African here. Very similar recipe, but I don't separate the vinegar and dry spices stages. I also use brown sugar instead of honey. I make the wet stuff, mix it with the dry stuff, and rub all over the meat, turning every 6 hours for about 24 hours. We have a grow tent for some devil's lettuce with an extractor fan . So I hung it in there... 4 days and amazing results!!!

That looks amazing!

Thanks for one of the best biltong videos on YTube. Agree that biltong is better than beef jerky. I'm from the US and have eaten lots of beef jerky. Big thing with commercial jerky is that is pumped full of God knows what chemicals. Homemade biltong contains all natural ingredients and tastes like it! I've made about 5 or 6 batches in a dehydrator and am still trying to nail down techniques and recipes. So far the family likes the traditional salt/pepper/coriander mix with addition of brown sugar. But the sky's the limit with what you can add. I will try your prep technique and recipe out. Thanks again.

Welcome! I made some really nice jerky a few weeks ago just drying it like biltong but at a higher humidity to keep it softer. I will do a video here on the process. Classic is great! Best tip I can give is to keep the temp around 30-40 C and the air flowing well. Flavour can be played with!

Thanks brother! Bresaola curing nicely too)

Awesome video! I'll definitely try this recipe. I'd personally prefer the fridge method that takes longer. For me, every time heat is introduced to speed up the process, it lacks the flavour that reminds me of my childhood. We used to make biltong at my grandparents' every winter. It would be hung at room temp (which probably ranged between -5C and 10C at that time of the year) for a minimum of 2 weeks, as I can remember. You can taste the difference when comparing biltong from a big butchery (where turnover and speed of curing is priority) to those of butcheries from small, inland towns where they just let time do its thing.

@PantsDownApronsOn

3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree! Quick biltong is just as bad as quick jerky. But neither as bad as the stuff they sell in Russia. Like Gandhi’s flipflop dried out for another month) Good biltong needs time. There are natural enzymatic processes happening during a long curing process that free up some proteins into amino acids that in turn binds with salt and results in natural “Аromat”. Can’t beat time!

Took me a great deal of time to learn the perfect process NOT to was off the dry spices. Very well done! Thank you.

I have been using this recipe for a year now and it's 10/10. I have tried other recipes but it just doesn't take the good. I make this 2 twice a month on weekends and it's so easy to make. Also makes the house smell great. Best and cheap meat is top side fresh from the butcher, when meat is fresh it doesn't smell and I think it turns out better.

Thanks for showing us. I'm proud as a South African to see this. This is always so expensive 😃

Great video. I've been making biltong for about 2 years now and still learnt alot. I have avoided stronger vinegars like red wine and apple cider, preferring brown or malt. On the baking soda, I have never used it before for mould, the salt and vinegar are enough for curing imho, but I don't use sugar or honey in my recipe which would be mould / bacteria enhancing. On spices, I had never thought to use fennel seed using rosemary, dried garlic and lemon zest instead, excited to try your mix. Hung and waiting to dry.
