As a south African I approve of this method to making this delicious snack
Thanks man, we appreciate the support!!
I used to do this in a biltong box given to me by a South African friend of mine, which sadly got broken in a house move, so I tried this method for the 1st time the other day and it worked beyond my wildest expectations. I used my ninja air fryer which has a dehydrate setting, but only goes down to 40C, so I just kept an eye on the weight loss. I will be taking some to my SA mate for his appraisal, but it tastes mighty fine to me. Thank you for the step by step instruction.
Thanks for watching 🙏and I am so happy it is useful, we did a lot of research to find the right process, of course it is up to personal taste how far you like to dry it but the result either way is perfect and super to hear that it worked the same way for you 😊stay tuned we upload new episodes every week 😀
Thanks so much. I just bought a biltong box and your video was very helpful. 👍
Thanks for watching, we are so happy you liked the video we have been playing around with this and doing a lot of research. You are going to love the result and the fact that you can dial in the dehydration and spice mix exactly to your liking, can't be beaten. Stay tuned we upload new episodes twice a week 😊

Hi, please could you perhaps respond to a 'South African' question. How to manage the biltong process during loadshedding 🙄
Thanks so much 👍
@@mimonahendricks1161 hi absolutely, besides being a huge irritation, I used to live in Shanghai for quite some years and they also had loadshedding in the summer, really annoying but besides that it is not a problem for your Biltong, originally biltong was air dried hanging in a well ventilated shady area of your house, using a biltong box or dehydrator only helps to speed up the process what you have to be careful of is to use your scales to know where you are on the weight loss the time is nonlinear as the dehydration goes faster in the beginning so make sure to note your weights in the beginning and weight them as time passes you will soon get a feeling about how much more time is needed. The reason for the coriander seeds (besides their great flavor) is that they are naturally antibacterial which keeps the meat from going of especially in the beginning when the meat is more moist. Hope it helps

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to this 73 year old trying new technology 🥰 My grandson loves biltong and I just bought a dryer and will be using it for the first time. Your det
Sorry about typo hiccup. Really appreciate your thoughtul and detailed message. 👍
I worked in S. A. and Rhodesia for a few years after my time in Vietnam. I practically lived on Biltong and Jerky. Many Recipes for each exist, but when you have partaken of the Genuine Products you will be hooked forever. G.
Thanks a lot for watching 🙏 Agree once hooked you can not but love Biltong. Stay tuned we upload new episodes every week 😊
Great job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@planecrazyish hey thanks for watching 🙏and thanks for the comments Biltong is a great snack and actually pretty fun to make 😁stay tuned we upload new episodes every week ☺️
At this % of dehydration, does it need refrigeration, or is it safe out of fridge? I will be making this, thank you.
Hi thanks for watching 🙏 well it was a preservation method so meat could be stored without refrigeration, however as far as I have been able to research then the % of dehydration should be higher, say closer to 70% but for us we do prefer the “wet” biltong as we made in the episode and this we have vacuumsealed and we keep it in the fridge. Stay tuned we upload new episodes twice a week 😊
First video I've seen that applies a more scientific approach to making biltong - and while "scientific" seems complex, you explain the principle extremely well. Making biltong is relatively easy... but making GOOD biltong (like all culinary projects) requires an understanding of food science. Your advice and methods are important - for both amateur and professional biltong enthusiasts.
Anyone keen on making biltong ought to pay attention to your methodology.
Thank you so much for watching 🙏 and thanks for the comments thats what keeps us going. Stay tuned we upload new episodes every week 😊
How long is it safe if you freeze it, vacuum sealed ?
Hey thanks for watching 🙏 well I want to say 17 years 🤣 jokes aside, this way of curing meat was originally to be able to store it without refrigeration for a long time, so if you vacuum it and freeze it you can store it a for a very long time, you can easy go a year + with this and that is practical as you can make a big batch. Stay tuned we upload new episodes every week 😊
It will last if you vacuum seal it, but don't freeze it. It loses a lot of its flavour, and it destroys the texture, especially if it has a lot of fat or still has a 50 or 60% moisture content (what we South Africans call wet biltong)
Biltong is everywhere, a few online shops.
biltong should stay in first stage for 3days and then 3 more days with second stage. hang till dry. cut them when they hard to bent. it a farmers receipy. not for sale but saving meat for the winter. its not a slice of steak for the rich!!! you dont get the idea of it, Cutting edge Cooking
Best biltong meat is a C Grade grass fed silwerside with alot of yellow fat🎉
👍❤️🇸🇪
Hey thanks for watching - great Biltong 😁🇩🇰🇬🇷
