  • How to make the perfect biltong at home with a hydrator or in a Biltong dryer. We show you what the Biltong looks like DAY 3, 4 and 5. Join us now for this easy biltong recipe.
    Curing time :- 3 to 5 days
    Spice ingredients : Coriander / Peppercorns / Salt and chilli flakes are optional.
    You need to divide the 3 ingredients Roasted coriander, Peppercorns and salt evenly (third each). We like to use about 40 - 50 grams of spices per Kg. As far as the Worcestershire sauce and vinegar you will have to play with this as this just need to cover all areas of the meat.
    Ratio:- 40-50gr per each 1Kg of meat
    This is so easy - you can do this at home like a legend.
    You could follow the same rules and methods in your home with your Weber grill or in your kitchen oven. THIS will impress your friends and guests beyond believe...

    As a first-time biltong maker, I am so impressed by this video. I was looking for a recipe that didn't include sugar because I'm diabetic. This recipe has no sugar in it and from what you've told us, it seems that it's not a traditional method to add sugar in. Once again you just made this nice and simple and that really impressed me. Thanks again from a Zimbabwean

    I live in the U.S.A and love finding new food ideas from across the globe. Well, this caught my eye as a possible candidate, so I gave it a try. I am thrilled that I did! I became an immediate addict and enjoy a bit of it every evening. Unfortunately, my wife isn’t very adventurous. I haven’t built my drying box yet, so my wife doesn’t appreciate that I simply hang raw meat on hooks under my desk in my office to dry. However, she loves the smell in the house when I do it, so that kind of evens things out. I’m very keen on springing new foods on guests and they are always looking forward to my next trick. I can’t wait to spring biltong on them. I suspect this will be a winner with them too. Thanks for a great video!

I got the "Rickyming Biltong Machine" to do the job and used topside - I gave it the full 5 days and it worked a treat ! I followed your recipe, so it's all down to you my friend. Thanks so much.

    I placed an order for 2kg of beautiful, organic, grass-fed Irish beef today, to be delivered on Friday. I was going to make beef jerky, my first time. As I researched beef jerky recipes, loads of people commented that biltong is much tastier. So I started researching biltong recipes. This is my second video and I absolutely love the vibe! The content, the comments, the accent 😁 it's just a completely different world from the beef jerky videos. Sooo, a change of plans! I'm now gearing up for my first attempt at biltong 👍
    A quick question, I bought 1kg of eye of round which I know is suitable, and I also bought a kg of sirloin - will that cut work as well?
    Thanks a mill for making and sharing this video! 👍 I'm pretty certain I'll be a day 3 kind of a person 😁

      @@XmanCo Ah yes, thank you for saying that! I'm going to ask the farmer to send me a larger piece of the sirloin, so I have a nice length to work with. The eye of round should be fine, as the grain runs the other way 👍 Great to know you use sirloin quite often, I imagine the fatty bit at the top is heavenly 🤤☺️ It's interesting how all of the beef jerky makers (that I've seen) chop off the fat, while the biltong makers have a special appreciation for it, which I find so relatable!

It seemed to swirl. anyway, I don't think it is the end of the world. I added a little garlic powder and some fennel as well.
