Letum911 Posted March 10, 2017 Share An update from my first batch: The pieces will probably be ready by tomorrow, the very thin piece was dry (enough) this morning to eat. Delicious indeed!!! The Worcester sauce is a bit potent, drain the vinegar and Worcester sauce on the next batch. AlanD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have finished mine and have to do another batch the weekend but at R89/kg, its justifiable :-). Letum911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted March 14, 2017 Share Cape Town – South Africa's first doctorate for studies in biltong goes to Maxine Jones, who likes hers "moist and fatty". "Biltong isn't such a simple matter as we may think – there's science behind it," Jones told News24. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/matie-earns-doctorate-for-biltong-study-20170314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intern Posted March 14, 2017 Share Just as a matter of curiosity, what do you okes pay for those Mellerware biltong makers? I got mine here for $120 along with a KG of Crown National biltong spice (that's aboot R1200).Also, I got my silverside for around $6 a kg, but that was from a mate's homekill heifer - he gave me half the beast (127kg) for $675.

MTBeer Posted March 16, 2017 Share So that's a bit cheaper than the local etailer then you should make Springbok biltong over there and sell it - you'll make a killing. The Kiwis chow Springboks for breakfast... scotty and intern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted March 16, 2017 Share you should make Springbok biltong over there and sell it - you'll make a killing. The Kiwis chow Springboks for breakfast... when I was a kid a farmer shot out 50 springbuck on his farm. Our family decided we want 15 (4 households) Took 2 days to process the meat and few hours to hang the biltong. Memories of childhood that needs to be cherished.

Letum911 Posted March 16, 2017 Share any quick suggestions on seasoningHave a look at a few of the earlier posts. I went shopping at after 5pm and ended up with Woolworths Biltong spice, VERY nice indeed!!! Short version, mix brown vinegar and worchester sauce 1 tot 1. Light drizzle across the meat and a light coating of spices. Let stand for 2 hours. remove excess sauce, and let the meat marinade overnight in a bowl (make sure a bit of sauce remains and that the meat is spiced all round). Hang the next morning. Allow 2-3 days to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
