Ok. This will be very quick and basic ,but will have you as happy as ever with the results. I was born in Pretoria, South Africa so i have been surrounded by biltong my whole life. So i learnt a few tricks or two.Here is a recipe that has proven to be liked the most by all my friends and familyGet about a kilo of silver side beefHalf a cup vinegar .preferably Apple cider or brown 2 tbs of coriander2 tbs of course saltHalf tbs whole black pepper1 tsp of your favourite herbs eg. Thyme etcTry to find some dried garlic or onions from a supermarket .they usually come in a special grinder with some other spices .but this is optional though greatly affects the flavour. Now you ready to start the processOk now that you have everything .lets get started.Cut your meat into 1cm thick strips leaving the single layer of fat on.Now take the rock salt and sprinkle on a plate.then place the meat on the plate and sprinkle the other side of the meat to get an even coat .now put in the fridge once evenly coated. After 15 mins take out and rinse the salt of with vinegar NOT WATER! Dont wash every last bit of salt of. Leave a bit .Now take spices and crush then and make an even mix. And if you like you can add about a quarter tsp of bicarb soda to the spice mix to prevent mould growth in more humid places .but this is not required.Evenly pat down the spices into the meat making sure its an even coat to prevent mould.now put in fridge for 2 hours making sure the meat is not resting in its own blood or juices.Now you ready to hang.I use a biltong maker that i made in 20mins . Just take a box . Put a piece of cable or a wooden rod trough the top for the meat to hang. Then take a 60watt lightbulb and put on the bottem of the box making sure to cover the bulb so juices don't drip on it. Then make a few holes in the top so the warm air can rise over the meat and exit. Pretty simple. You can also google the "biltong box" for more detail. Hope you have great success with my trademark recipe .im sure you can impress your friends and fam wherever in the world you are. Feel free to ask me questions and give me feedback on your success
