Meat Prep 1. Cutting: Cut 2 kg of meat into 3 cm thick steaks, with the grain. Remove any connecting tissue. 2. Salting: Use 6% of the meat's weight in coarse salt - 2000g meat x 0.06 = 120g salt 3. Chilling: Let the salted meat chill for 3 hours, flipping halfway through. Spice Mix 40 g Coriander Seeds (1/2 cup) 20 g Fennel Seeds (1/4 cup) 4 g Chilli Flakes (2 tsp) 10 g Black Peppercorns (1 tbsp) 1. Toasting: Lightly toast all spices except black peppercorns on medium heat until aromatic. 2. Cooling: Let the spices cool. 3. Grinding: Grind black peppercorns alone, then blend all spices together without grinding too fine. Wet Marinade 120 g Red Wine Vinegar (1/2 cup) 120 g Worcestershire Sauce (1/2 cup) 60 g Honey (1/4 cup) 1. Mixing: Combine the wet ingredients thoroughly and set aside. Marinating and Seasoning 1. Desalting: After 3 hours, remove salt from the meat with a paper towel. 2. Marinating: Place meat in a snug container, add wet cure, and ensure full coverage. Marinate for 1 hour, then flip and marinate for another hour. 3. Adding Baking Soda: Mix 6 g baking soda (1 tsp) into the marinade, and let sit for 30 minutes, flipping halfway. 4. Seasoning: Remove meat, pat dry with a paper towel, and coat fully with the spice mix. 5. Drying: Attach a paper clip to each piece. Record the weight and hang it in a dry place with good airflow.

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.

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!!!

I am a huge fan of Biltong, but I've never tried making it at home before. Your recipe inspired me to give it a try, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out. Your instructions were clear and detailed, and I appreciated the tips you provided along the way. The final product was absolutely amazing, and my family and I enjoyed every bite of it. I also love the fact that I can adjust the recipe to my liking and make it exactly how I want it. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise with the world.

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. (There are plenty of KZbin videos on making your own biltong box.) Have been munching away very happily...Next I want try to make boerewors. Do you have a video for that?

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!

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.
@PantsDownApronsOn3 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!

"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!

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.

But especially advised for those that try this for the first time or are not experienced. *Baking soda, vinegar and mould. What and why?* *Vinegar* = Creates low ph environment so most crappy bacteria won't grow but good bacteria will. *Vinegar* = Adds balance to the final product. *Vinegar* = *Also vinegar* = Denatures protein and break the bonds that hold them together. Resulting in "cooked" meat. Problem with washing it under water = Washes away the marinade that slowly needs to dry on the meat to add to the flavour. *Baking soda* = Neutralises acid but does not make it alkaline or ph-neutral in small amounts. *Baking soda* = HELPS to prevent bad mould. *Baking soda* = Helps to tenderise tough meat(not all beef is nice and good quality) *Mould* = Will grow if it wants to grow. I've had mould growing on vinegar I made plus some other extremely anti-mould ferments. So, no guarantees. If anything apart from white chalky mould grows, simply wipe it off with vinegar. It might come back. It might not. All we can do is follow best practices and hope for the best. Clean utensils, clean hands, good airflow. *Taste Vs Flavour* - Why I keep the vinegar on but add some baking soda to bring down the acidity. Yes for flavours to be top, taste needs to be balanced. They are different things flavour and taste. Even pro cooks fail to realise this so, all cool. Taste happens on your tongue and flavour in your nose when volatile compounds are picked up by olfactory receptors at the "back" of your nose which is then processed by your olfactory cortex. Both these plus physical sensations like chewing and sound and texture combine to give you either something nice or crappy. Your brain decides that based on gazillions of past experiences mixed with expectation. *Conclusion* Is baking soda a must? No Does it make a better product? For me, Yes. I run a kitchen with a whole fermentation section doing everything from cucumber pickles to Japanese sake. So, think I know what I'm talking about. At least on this subject. Can't give you marriage advice though. Hope that helps.

Ja, I'm going to follow your recipe to the letter and see how it goes. I normally lay in salt 1 hour, dip in white wine vinegar, dry it off a bit, roll each in corriander and a bit of pepper. Put in Biltong box I made with simple light bulb in bottom about 5 days and enjoy. Always pretty good old school. This goes several steps further. Will tell you how it goes when done. Lekker Brei exse!

I've never tried it fennel seeds and the honey. Will give it a try soon.

Honey you can swap out for sugar as you can’t really identify it in the final product. For me it’s just a personal preference. Fennel is real good. 👌

Making Biltong in a biltong maker can be eaten in 3-4 days' time, still a little wet but delicious. Stuff your cheeks and chew till all the flavors popped in your mouth, make it last.

My man!! Thank you for telling the masses to stop calling Biltong beef jerky, or stop the comparison because its an insult to our South African delicacy. I had jerky when I visited the US and it is something different compared to biltong. Jerky is actually quite horrible compared to biltong

Funny. I’m standing eating biltong right now))) True. They messed the process up from what it should be. Did an amazing biltong cured in fish sauce, sugar and adjika paste. It’s like a biltong, jerky hybrid but really amazing. Will do a video on it when life allows)

@@PantsDownApronsOn In Mexico they call it Salsa Inglesa, funny stuff, look it up! BTW - No real Boer would ever use that carp on their biltong. Not including cloves or allspice is another no-no. I like what you are doing but what you create is not the biltong of my youth.
