Biltong
The main reason we bought the dehydrator is to make biltongs and I am happy to say we've made them! For those of you who don't know, biltong is South African dried beef... a bit like beef jerky but not really. It is delicious and healthy and delicious.
As I mentioned in my last post, we bought 7kg of chuck steak and used a lot of it on biltong. We cut off the fat to make beef fat, a few slices of steak to barbecue, a few chunks of meat for the potjie and the rest to make biltong.
Ingredients:
chuck steak, sliced
rock salt
apple cider vinegar
ground coriander seeds
pepper
all spice
- Marinate the meat on a bed of salt and place it in the fridge for about an hour. The longer you leave it the saltier it gets.
- Remove the salt off with a knife and brush the vinegar on.
- Marinate the meat with the mixed spices and place them on the dehydrator at 35C for 12 hours.
