How to make Traditional Beef Droëwors Recipe | South African air-dried sausage | Traditional Recipes

Droëwors is a Southern African dried sausage snack, but it's so much more than that. Freshly minced beef and lamb fat, coriander seed, and other aromatic spices are mixed together and stuffed into a natural sheep casing. Hanged for a few days in the crisp and dry winter air. Seriously good! Baie, baie LEKKER!
Recipe
∙ 3.5kg Beef (I used brisket, chuck)
∙ 1.5kg Lamb tail fat ( Beef Brisket fat will also be fine)
∙ 300ml Worcestershire sauce
∙ 125ml Brown vinegar
∙ 22/24 Natural sheep casings( Soaked overnight and inside rinsed)
Spices
∙ 125g fine sea salt ( 6 tablespoons)
∙ 25g Black peppercorns ( 2½ tablespoons)
∙ 18g Coriander seeds ( 3 tablespoons)
∙ 8g fine Nutmeg ( 2 teaspoons)
∙ 5g fine cloves ( 2 teaspoons)
∙ 6g Allspice ( 2 teaspoons)
∙ 7g Fine Coriander ( 3 teaspoons)
Enjoy!☺

We make droge worst in our region in the North East of the Netherlands too, back when I lived in South-Africa for half a year I didn't get them often (got them from the supermarket and didn't like them as much). Biltong was nearly a daily treat for me though. Yours look great by the way!

[@maktiki]

That is the same worst, but in the Netherlands they use kruidnagels, instead of coriander seeds. I know butchers in the Netherlands they sometimes make this one with coriander seeds and people dont like it as much. But I like the Coriander.

Lovely video. Here in Sa we do 1-2 Ton droewors a week. Time a huge factor. Most Managers or employees dont see the time or effort. Used to a mass production but prefer to do everything self quality self inspected. People tend to compare office work ,(files)to meat making. Worst mistake ever. Long hours no sitting feet get swollen.Time owners work with employees in company day to day objectives

[@patrickwalsh6021]

Hey man! just found this video and i love it, I grew up eating this all the time and it one of my favorite snacks! I live in New York now and it a little hard to find this being sold here so i wanna try this recipe. However, i don't really have anywhere i can air dry it, is there a work around? thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Thank you very much! I've hanged droewors in my dorm when I was younger. As long as you have a slight breeze(a regular fan works great) , a dry environment(bathrooms don't work😉😂), and a place where it can get some natural sunlight. You can hang your droewors anywhere.

Hi where can I buy the skin ? Is it synthetic skin?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! These were natural sheep casings, you can buy them from your local butchery

[@myrrim1291]

This looks so good. Comes from the Dutch culture in South Africa. I’d love to try this, but we can’t get sheep tails here

[@riaannel2766]

South Africa is way more than Dutch culture, there is a huge amount of French Huguenot, and then there were Germans and other Europeans as well. Britains later.

[@starrider529]

You can use either sheep or beef fat, it does not really matter. More important is the meat/fat ratio. Use 2 parts meat to 1 part fat. And don't forget to fry the coriander seeds...that is what gives droewors and biltong its unique flavour and taste.

[@derekallen4568]

You can use pork fat. This is not rocket science

[@TheSharkBok]

Baie dankie julle ❤

[@Gostalto]

Heerlik julle! 10/10

[@riaanvanderwalt9340]

What advice would you give. I have the same stuffer, but I couldn’t get the meat to come through the 20mm tube at all. I have used chuck meat only. It was way too dense. Great channel!!

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! The most common reason is the meat is a bit too “dry”, not enough lubrication for the meat to flow. Adjust your recipe to add a little more liquid until the meat flows better through the stuffer. My recipe has more or less 8% added moisture(vinegar,water, Worcestershire sauce) you can go up to 10% at most. Too much moisture will obviously take the droëwors longer to dry and increase the chances of mold, rot etc… I hope this info helps. Lekker Droëwors maak!

[@riaanvanderwalt9340]

Baie dankie! Hopelik werk die derde probeer slag. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@riaanvanderwalt9340]

3de probeerslag het gewerk. Al wat ek nog moet uitfigure is die laaste van die maalvleis kom nie deur die tube nie. Omtrent so sentimeter is heeltemal te kompak. Is dit maar wat gebeur of het ek te veel maalvleis gebruik op n slag i ln die buis?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Die "plunger" kan nie al die vleis uitstoot nie, behoort net tot by sy max te kan beweeg. Die res van die vleis sal ongelukkig agter bly.

Can I substitute the lamb fat for beef fat because I have no clue where to get lamb fat from. Watching from Zambia 🇿🇲

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Yes you can, beef brisket fat is the best to use. Thank you for watching!

[@DJAakaRNBFUNKNJS-OLDSKOOL]

Whats the difference between boerewors and droewors? Thx

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Boerewors is a fresh uncooked sausage usually quite thick and then cooked. Droewors is a much thinner dried and cured sausage no cooking is required.

[@jareddavies5220]

Fantastic! This might be a silly question... before drying it, could you cook it on the braai like boerewors? Is it the same method to make them both?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! You can, in Afrikaans we call it "dunwors"-thin sausage. Because the meat is not "mixed" or kneaded well the protein extraction is not where it should be for a sausage-like texture. Generalizing Boerewors recipes have a touch more moisture(water) in them than droewors and they use pork fat or beef fat instead of lamb, but droewors can also use beef fat.

[@leonmaritz2598]

Kan ek die hele mengsel verdubbel? Die vleis, vet en al die spice?

[@kevanhess2105]

How long did they hang.I see it is hanging under a afdak can u use a biltong box?Baie mooi uitgele Broer en jou Familie🎉

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

I hanged them for about 3 days. That is to my liking. If you prefer it a bit drier then you can hang it for 4-5 days. You can use a biltong with good ventilation. Baie dankie!

[@josephwilson8546]

What about fly’s sittin on them while they’re drying?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Droewors is usually made in the winter when there are no flies around. You can also dry in a biltong box with a screen to keep flies out.

[@BlueBull998]

Hallo. Die vleis lyk droog na uur in vrieskas. Het dit al die vloeistof geabsorbeer? Dankie. Lyk lekker gaan probeer

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi! Dit het ja, partykeer is die mengsel bietjie droog op te stop, maar jy kan nog bietjie water bysit om makliker te stop. Wees net versigtig om nie teveel vog in te sit nie. Jy wil he die droewors moet so vinnig as moontlik uitdroog. Hoop jy geniet die resep! Baie groete!

[@Lollypop-c8n]

Kan jy asb n platform skep- waar mens jou droe wors kan koop- asb man! Wil jy nie verkoop

[@willedwards7679]

Can you use pork fat as a substitute? It’s hard to get beef fat where I am

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi, that’s a very controversial ingredient according to some droëwors makers… Some believe the pork fat will go rancid. Generations of people around the world cured pork with only sea salt and they lived to tell the tale… I’ve made it with pork fat before and it came out perfect. Just a few factors to consider when using pork fat: Ambient temp and humidity needs to be low to ensure quick drying. Salt percentage must be adhered to ensure proper curing, but mostly for preservation. Thinner casings works much better, you can even flatten the droëwors to increase the area for better drying. Hopes this helps.

[@willedwards7679]

@@WolkbergArtisans2019 helps a lot, thanks mate! I might try it with pork fat with the addition of some cure #1 which should make it safe

Hi! I used 25g(2½ tablespoons) of black peppercorns and 18g(3 tablespoons) of coriander seeds. Hope you enjoy our recipe!

[@LitoGeorge]

@@WolkbergArtisans2019 thanks very much! I'm a little embarrassed now after rewatching the video where it's clear what you used in the beginning. After watching it once, I went over the "main ingredients section" again several times and I missed what was already said in the beginning. Jammer julle. But, now I have a spreadsheet set up and its ready to go for future quantities of meat according the proportions for spices etc you used here. I made a small batch of 1.5kgs with your recipe and in a few hours time today will put it in the casings. Everything is ready to go. Daie Bankie ;-) again, and I promise to come with my comment on how it tasted when ready. I am pitting this against another recipe from an ex SAffer in the States. He makes dermlose droëwors and its quite clever! Here on YT if you want to use those search terms to check it out. Goed gaan, LG.

[@LitoGeorge]

​@@WolkbergArtisans2019 not sure if my reply comment to your kind addition of clarification for me made it - I find sometimes YT deletes my comments. If it didnt, please let me know. Additional question: are you guys up in Tzaneen way? Moegabaskloof is how I always knew the area, but I could be wrong. Those mountains could be Eastern Transvaal but could also be in the Cape. Ja, I am old school a bit when it comes to names. Goed gaan.
