In my life I think I've eaten a whole cows worth of biltong, and now you have blessed me with the recipe.... Cows now have a new reason to fear.

This is the best biltong recipe youll find on the internet/KZbin. Plain and simple no chili or funny spices. This one also contains cloves and yhst mskes for a beautiful taste. Dankie

The bast biltong is made from Kudu.....In Australia the beef has not got a lot of flavor... haven't eaten beef for over 44 years. Seeing you make biltong brins bach memories of my cousin going into the bash for 3 month and coming back with biltong like I had never experienced. I seem to remember him using salt peter.

I like biltong and this looks like a great recipe I will try. I am from Texas and make great beef jerky. Jerky and biltong only share the fact that they are cured beef. They have different texture and flavor. To say one is better than the other is a matter of personal choice. I like them both,

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

You are absolutely right. Would like to try a more "authentic" jerky recipe one day and do a proper comparison. Hope you do try our recipe. Thank you for watching!

[@jamesolsen6837]

Not to be blunt but there is so much more beef flavor in biltong. The air drying and spices make the biltong a superior snack. But some good jerky will do in a pinch.

Die bietjie van die landskap in die video laat my verlang na Afrika, maar nie genoeg om weer te besoek nie, ongelukkig. Om drie goeie vriende te begrawe in een maand as gevolg van hijacks was te veel en ons is landuit. Ek maak biltong en droewors hier in Texas maar die hoe humiditied maak dit moeilik maar 'n Boer maak 'n plan! Goeie video en julle biltong lyk bakgat.

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi Nordmann! Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it turned out! Just one tip, if I may, some biltong recipes needs to have contact with sunlight - it limits the growth of mold. And dry air flow over the hanging meat.

Brilliant news about the addition. Ill give this a go, i don’t tend to use chili and i put my salt in with the rub. However you haven’t steered us wrong yet with all your meals being fantastic and easy.

I grew up on a farm behind the wolfberg cracks in the Cederberg. Not sure if your Wolkberg is nearby but the landscape looks like home. Could almost recognise those mountains. I'm now watching this from my new home in the Scottish Highlands and this gave me a pang of longing for the smell of fynbos and the dry silence of the Karoo. First time I've had that since relocating. Recipe looks amazing too, I'll be giving it a go!

[@katharina...]

This is the recipe I've been looking for! In all of the other (great!) video recipes, they cut the beef into thinner pieces, and I've been wondering whether cutting it a wee bit thicker would work as well. What you've done here is exactly what I had in mind! Brilliant 👍 You also specifically said here that sirloin will work as well, which is the cut I ordered (along with the eye of round). My meat, from a small organic Irish farm, will be delivered on Friday, and I will be making my first biltong then. You've been super helpful and I appreciate it very much, thank you!

[@maryannlahner3427]

Your biltong looks delicious. Please can you tell me why you weigh the meat BEFORE and AFTER?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Thank you so much! I weigh them to see what is the moisture loss of the meat. My preference is biltong with more or less 30% moisture loss. Then the biltong is "Lekker nat" (Wet) Drier biltong has a higher moisture loss. So it is an absolute preference.

The first piece was to wet for my liking, great vid

[@andreventer7024]

Goeie video, dankie. Mag Ek vra, maak dit saak water graad vleis die beste is en ook van 'n ekonomiese standpunt.

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Beesvleis werk ook op 'n weegskaal. Bv C-graad het baie lekker geur met lekker geelvet, maar kan baie keer taai wees. A graad is baie sag, maar nie so baie geur soos C-graad nie. Daars is dit totaal voorkeur van die biltong maker of die persoon se smaak. C-graad is veronderstel om die goedkoopste te wees in terme van Rand en sent, maar die aanvraag vir dit is hoog so dan is hy partykeer duurder.

[@andreventer7024]

[@sharonyray]

Sjoe ek is nou so lus!!! I've decided to try make my own and I'm going to use your recipe. I have a small back room with 2 screened sliding windows. Can I hang the biltong in there and keep the windows open (they are screened). I live in California and the area I live in is cool and rainy right now, the weather is running about 20 Celcius. I like my biltong a little drier so how long should I hang it? How do I store it? Please and thanks very much!

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Sounds great! If you can keep a fan on them that will work perfectly. What I like to do is freeze the meat with cure and then only take out a piece or two to dry. What you can do is hang them for about 3-4 days and then cut off a small piece and try it. If it is still a bit too wet, just leave it for another day or two. Hope you enjoy our recipe! Nou is daar Lekker BILTONG in California! Baie dankie!

[@sharonyray]

Thank you so much for the info! I just stopped at the butcher, I'm picking up my vleis on Friday. Another quick question please, there's no regular bruin asyn here. Can I use Malt vinegar? Baie dankie.

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi Jamie. Its an old tested technique of preserving meat. The salt and the vinegar cures the meat, the spices also help with preserving and flavor. The air drying reduces the moisture content of the meat. If dehydrated and stored properly if can last a few months. Thank you for watching.

[@willsieruta]

@@WolkbergArtisans2019 IMO 1 tbsp per cup of vinegar is about the most a recipe can take before overpowering the meat and spices. I've only made about 150 pounds total so I am not a master.

[@NS-un3pg]

You're supposed to pay the meat dry before dry rub. Also, why the hell is everyone obsessed with weighing the meat? Who gives a shit how much it weighs. Just dry the damn thing and eat it.

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi, if you like to pat the meat dry before adding the rub that is also fine, but the reasons why I don’t follow that method is because: My wet marinade is mixture of salt, Worcestershire, vinegar and salt. All of them play an important role in meat preservation- the vinegar lowers the ph on the surface of the meat- keeps harmful bacteria from growing(That’s the reason for making biltong-to preserve meat for longer periods). By patting the meat dry you are removing “preservation” and flavour. Secondly the dry rub sticks much better to a wet surface- again you want as much spices to stick to the meat as possible. Coriander has anti-fungal properties and black pepper is a natural fly repellent. Some people like to weigh the meat before and after to get an indication of when the meat is dry enough. “Om te meet is om te weet” Baie groete
