Biltong (Beef Jerky) Preparation

Date: Mon, 1 Apr 1996 23:19:41 -0500 From: Wendy Lockman As you travel around East Africa you will see countless Africans selling food along the roadsides, in the markets, or through bus and train windows. They sell fruit, boiled eggs grilled maize, boiled maize, yogurt, milk, soda pop, fried dough balls, samosas, yellow buns, and real seasonal delicacies like roasted mice and termites. The following are a few East African snack foods you can try. "Beef Jerky" is more common in South Africa but still a part of the East African diet. It is generally made from beef, but other game is used when available. Cut strips of meat following the grain of muscle. Make strips 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Best made during cool dry weather if possible. Salt the meat by rubbing the mixture in well and leave in the basin of salt mixture overnight. Dip a cloth in vinegar, wring dry and whip the meat well. Hang the strips of meat in a cool, dry, well ventilated place until dry. You can also hang the meat on an oven rack placed in the top slot of the oven. Dry the meat on low heat.

    Hey There.

    Thanks for the biltong recipe - seems ok, but would have been good to have more descriptions on specifics given different scenarios ie. drying meat in summer vs winter months, how long to dry if cookers want dry medium or most biltong. We know that the dryer the weather the quicker the meat dries, but information or estimates how much quicker it usually does take the beef to dry to a specific moisture requirement is nice. Also info on how much the flavor and quality changes given the cut of meat. Some say there is little difference in taste between a premium cut vs a less expensive cut such as blade steak. One more thing would be quantities of ingredients to get a desired result ie. if cookers want a pepper flavour or a chilli flavor.

    Dont get me wrong the Biltong recipe looks good and gives the most basic information but would be good if it was more informative to those who will be using it. I run a small company called Biltong Boys (www.biltongandbeefjerky.com.au) which sells all kinds of biltong and beef jerky across Australia, but we understand that customers love to make it themselves - which is why want to help out with recipes that are less explanatory. This way the quality of biltong even made at home will be fantastic, something we can all be proud of :)
