Biltong in the UK is both hard to come by and expensive. My brother-in-law is from Capetown and he challenged me to make a biltong maker. I copied both your recipe and the biltonginator design and now have access to the best biltong. Thanks for making the video. There are some very happy South Africans in our community now.

Bloody hell mate. I'm black, SA born (Kimberley), Namibian raised (WHK), and living in CPT (none of which matters). I had an uncle, Eugene (a family friend), and you have his mannerisms. A little Barry Hilton, a little Barry Manilou. His wife Doreen used to run the kitchen with an iron fist, cause he used to work hard as a fitter and turner, but man, he was the biltong king. That biltong of his he used to hang out on the washing line in Rehoboth was the best! and I never knew how he made it (I was a kid). A big thank you. Keep doing what you're doing. +++ Since I've subscribed, they must see me at the next potjie now. I'll grill their chops! They judge you on how much of a man you are simply by tasting your potjie nowadays! Life's so hard! Joking! You just made it look so easy! Biltonganator 3 thousand coming soon!

[@deandomino9657]

Hello there! I just want to say thank you very much. Today, as a 19 year old from the UK, whose favourite snack happens to be biltong, I have just managed to hang up my first batch of this wonderful meat right next to my bed and I am very excited to see the results! Biltong is sold as a “premium meat snack” here in the UK and you do have to pay a pretty penny for a fairly small amount. After your friendly encouragement and easy-to-follow instructions, I couldn’t resist giving it a go myself. I went to the butchers for the first time today and I was nervous for some reason. I didn’t even know what to ask for really, so I explained my plan to the man and after sorting some topside for myself, he wished me farewell and asked me to let him know how it goes when it’s all done! Little things like this mean a lot to me, as I don’t tend to go out much myself and I think a lot of people my age don’t tend to think about places like your local butcher shop when your parents go to the supermarket to buy everything for you. I know I didn’t up until I saw this video anyway. So thanks for opening my eyes. Much appreciated!

How did it go and taste?

Get yourself a Springbok jersey to go with that biltong and you'll be a winner for life 💪

[@deandomino9657]

@@JasonRetributionhi there. Oh wow, I’m sorry for the late reply. It went fantastically well! So much has happened to me in the last 4 years. I’m now a 24 year old who still makes his own biltong after all this time. Just loaded up another batch in my biltong maker which made me want to revisit the source of all this inspiration for me and I found this old comment that I completely forgot I made. I lost both my parents since making that comment and life has been an absolute whirlwind for me. Making biltong just kind of reminds me of what life was like when I had them around now. If you haven’t already, I would highly recommend you make it yourself as well, if you can! It’s dead simple and you’ll save a lot of money and it’s far better tasting than the stuff you buy in the shops!

Thanks for that info. I just need to convince the Mrs as too why I need to take up even more space in the house lol

[@philippschwartzerdt3431]

Made my own box (took slightly larger one but also with the little wheels, thank you Ikea 😉). To build the box from start to finish, once I had all the tools and gadgets together, it took me about 40 min. to build. I made a couple of more holes (including the lid) and placed a computer fan on top that allows me to seamlessly adjust its speed. Against insects I have used an insect mesh for windows that can be fixed with velcro. To ensure that I do not keep it too long or to short, I have little labels per hanger where I write the original weight of the slice and its target weight. Since everybody likes it a little different, it allows to bring it to find the sweet spot (moist 50% to hard dry 30% of the original weight). I have added a heat source, a 40W light bulb placed in the mid bottom of the box, a multi purpose plug on the lid and a thermometer that allows me to check the temperature from tome to time. I am able to establish a repeatable result by using the same settings, once I found my perfect taste. It is then also possible to use different meats from different animals (i.e. game) and cuts and see what needs to be changed. When cutting the meat I decided to go with the “grain” so to say, that allows to cut the Biltong slices against the fiber growth and it becomes easier to eat it is never chewy. I am adding a number of other things to the marinade, like Worcester sauce when marinating the meat and a spoon of baking soda (to 1 kg meat) against the building of mold spores or bacteria. When I feel adventurous I am experimenting with some self made herbs & spice mixtures (i.e. Mediterranean herbs style, Indian style with a special curry powder, Asian style with chili and Lemongrass, Mexican style with chili flakes and marinated with tabasco, Levante/Arab style with ras-al-hanout, etc.) - but the original is still the best.

[@peteacher52]

Very useful video. (From NZ) My South African friends introduced me to biltong years ago and I was hooked. I had a totara box made by a cabinet maker, stood it upright and installed a $5 personal desk fan lower right and exit hole upper left. Spices same as yours but 5-3-2; worked well for my taste and fancy. Butchers tend to cut the meat too thick and not overly consistent so I partially freeze mine before cutting it myself with Excalibur. If I put a dehumidifier in the room and close the door at night, the process is hastened a worthwhile amount.

[@avo2093]

I am from Holland. As a very young boy, around 12 or 13 years old, I bought Biltong at the local toko. I had never heard of it and loved it, even though it wasn't freshly made with fresh spices. Still, I loved the structure and I liked eating it instead of lunch when I was in the woods for a day or so. Nobody else here ever mentions it or knows what it is. I haven't had any since 1985 or so. I couldn't find it anymore and forgot about it. The toko's here might sell it now, but I think they all reverted to beef jerkey. It never occurred to me to make my own until now. I have a couple of computer fans lying around that are going to be put to work again!

Mr Kruger, if you read this thank you so so much for this video. I've never tried biltong but I am that keen that I replicated your Biltonginator 3000 and I am coming back to this video now to get the measurements of the vinegar to meat ratio but it seems you just cover the meat with it now that I've watched this fantastic video again. The ⅓, ⅓ & ⅓ ratio of salt pepper and corriander is easy enough to remember but this time I'm testing your recipe and another recipe at the same time to see which I prefer, and on half of both recipes I plan on soaking both with the vinegar recipes each of you recommend but also adding lime juice to it, just to see what happens and adding chilli flakes to the salt pepper and corriander because I LOVE chilli. Even though I plan on doing various different recipes, I can't wait to try yours out as you were the one that got me interested in making this biltong, so thank you once again

Thank you for taking the time to share with us. In my teens, a school friend and I spent 2 weeks on an Afrikaans farm in the Freestate practicing "die taal". It was winter. Very cold and dry. One day, our farmer-host went out with a gun and came back with a buck he had shot. We watched it being skinned and all the organs separated and packed for their different purposes - Some for roasting or stews, some for breakfasts, some for sausages, and some for biltong. There was so much meat for the biltong! An old galvanized iron bath was used for the marinating! There seemed to be so many spices. One of the ingredients I remember was saltpetre. The meat was hung outside in an open shed so that the air could continually circulate round the meat. My friend and I visited the biltong every day and see it drying and shriveling and getting darker, until one day, it was taken down and sliced up so we could taste it. There is nothing better than tasting biltong for the first time!

Made my box 4 weeks ago. Have made about 3kg of biltong. So stoked. Haven't had it in almost 3 years! Too damn expensive to buy in NZ! Really appreciate the video ♥

Most People don't know it but his Family were very English Orientated. You can hear him speaking without the Afrikaans accent. I met him twice in my Life. A super friendly Guy.

Amazing! Can't wait to build a Biltonginator and make some Biltong. Thanks for the solid video!

[@briangriffin5701]

My ex from SA got me into Biltong. I want to make it myself since buying beef is much cheaper than buying packaged biltong at retail value in the US.

After having watched this video about 6 times over the last 2 years... I've decided it's time! Got my computer fan rigged up, and will be starting today :D Thanks for the inspiration and great video Ben!!

How did it go?

[@ryanb34n]

@@jacquesjacobsz9243 Excellently! I used reasonably thinly cut meat (Hard to get good affordable meat here), and left it in for 2 days. Having never tried this before, I was so surprised at how easy it is, and how amazing the results were!!

[@jacquesjacobsz9243]

@@ryanb34n I am tempted to make one myself - I will just have to wait for our lockdown to come to an end. Regards.

[@ryanb34n]

@@jacquesjacobsz9243 do it, you won't regret it :) I made mine out of a random cardboard box and a computer fan I had playing around.. Incredibly basic, though it does the job perfectly!

[@rafstuff1201]

Awesome vid, thank you so much...Just made one for myself using your instructions...and your recipe...Very lekka 🤗

[@defnotmee5085]

Dude, you had me cracking up almost the whole time. Funny and informative. Will try!!

[@pepichikako7122]

I am from Malawi but based in America. I was studying and craved biltong. Then came across your video. I am so getting a dehumidifier and making me some. Thank you for the recipe

I love the music they played! Please let me know of the Artist!

My Son and I built the biltonganator 3000 today here in New Zealand. We are into day one of producing biltong. Looking forward to the final result. Thanks Ben!

[@BurntFaceMan]

Biltong is available all over NZ and it's delicious =)

[@jonhartman6841]

The Biltonginator 3000 - awesome! This dude would be welcome at any of my social functions. I'll do all of the cooking, he just has to be himself.

[@SubbanGovender]

Thank you Sir even from haven you do your bit for keeping unity, whilst others put themselves first, this was best display to making biltong. Baie Dankie

[@daelimefive]

Mr Kruger Sir, I made Biltong out of deer and it's delicious. Thanks for the tutorial and best wishes from Germany.

[@notjake5446]

I keep trying to tell everyone here that but of course they just want to use store bought beef and it is not comparable to the least degree.

[@junaidgurling6531]

Halaal biltong in England is even more scarce and expensive. Having tried to make biltong for years which all failed. This is best video out there with easy instructions. I followed this and have made the most delicious biltong. Thank you.

[@morganh-b3132]

Thank you very much i just finished my first batch of biltong today 😆

[@TheIntentionalMan]

Thanks for the video, Ben! Definitely going to home it a shot. My friend from South Africa introduced me to biltong and I was hooked from the first bite. Love your personality btw hah

[@alexottaway3772]

Thanks Ben. Created my own biltong box the same as the biltonganator! Making my first batch of biltong this weekend. I live in Cornwall, uk. Spreading the love!!!

[@Clyde__Frog]

Thanks so much for this Ben! Followed to the letter and I've been rewarded with amazing tasting biltong! Superb.

[@moosesnWoop]

Great content. Got my dad started on this now and it's all the craze for him. Thanks for this great local content Ben!

[@PABeaulieu]

Buddy, you make my day! :) I'm from the Gaspé, Québec, Canada. I do not follow your rules, I use a dehydrator, but I now make my own biltong, French Canadian Style. :D
