Biltong is definitely not jerky. It's raw dried meat just preserved with vinegar, salt and traditionally whole crushed coriander seeds. We also keep the fat on the meat and droëwors is cured the same way and it's hunters sausage. Air dried so not cooked. Unlike jerky that is cooked in the drying process and chewy and leathery. Thanks for trying our traditional foods.

Biltong is dried meat with no added preservatives. Just meat left to dry in spices
@AaAa-on4mx2 жыл бұрын
No. You're incorrect. The meat is usually marinated for about 24 hours in a general mix of salt, black pepper, brown sugar, coriander and a 50/50 vinegar and Worcestershire sauce mixture. (Recipes may change from maker to maker) Meat without preservative spices wouldn't dry like biltong, it would just rot.

Droëwors directly translated means dried sausage. It's basically a beef sausage that's cured and dried. Biltong from a package is not the same as those bought at a South African/Namibian butchery. Even home made is much better than package biltong...

Comment: the biggest difference between biltong and jerky is this: biltong is RAW meat, dried, while jerky is partially cooked (smoked), and often not dried any further.

One thing about biltong is that the best meat is used, such as fillets.
@dennisleighton28122 жыл бұрын
I don't know where you come from mate, but the vast majority of Saffers would definitely not use fillet, unless they happened across a large amount of meat suddenly. The most often used cuts are topside and silverside, which are both much more flavourful than fillet, and of course far cheaper!
@odettestroebel31352 жыл бұрын
No Bro we don't use fillet. We use silverside , topside and rump. Meat with fat. I would never waste a good fillet on biltong. Whole point of a fillet is to cook it medium rare and juicy not dry it out.

as soon it is in a plastic bag it is not true biltong. You cannot keep proper original biltong in a plastic bag. when they place it in a plastic bag they add all kinds of crap which does not make it biltong anymore.

Ahh man... I almost never like biltong that's packaged in sealed plastic like that..... just not the same... You can easily make biltong yourself, I dare you, theres loads of videos on how to make a biltong box, all it really is, is a container of some sort, a heat source like a light and an extractor fan, such as an old pc fan. For the meat, something with a nice fat layer such as topside or preferably silverside, or well if it's venison, if you hunt deer, mostly all the meat can go for biltong. Just soak the meat overnight in some redwine vinegar after you cut it into nice steaklets, then make your own biltong spice from some coriander seeds, blackpepper, allspice a bit of cloves and coarse kosher salt that you just mush up a bit, not too fine, smother the meat in the spice, hang in your biltong box for about 4 to 6 days and enjoy... Those plasticky sealed bags just ruins the flavor, doesn't matter how good the plastic is or whatever, it just does ... You just gotta try making it yourselves if you can't source it fresh at a butcher or something, they should pack it up for you from the hanger into a brown paper packet and not plastic..... seriously...

Biltong is biltong and jerky is jerky, and there is no such thing as biltong jerky. There are similarities, as in, both are dried meat, but biltong is not a type of jerky. The process to make it is completely different. You're insulting a whole culture by insinuating that it's flavour of jerky.
@StuffLab3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for pointing this out, we apologize for insinuating that biltong and jerky are the same thing; in the description you will see that there is a site linked stating the difference between the two, in the video itself the difference is listed in an informational pop-up, and the difference vocalized on different occasions. The title has been updated and so has the thumbnail to correctly reflect that biltong is not the same jerky Americans associate with regularly, though it is what we are comparing it to and asking for further recommendations of.
