Anyone here ever heard of it? I've eaten bear biltong before and that's really good, some people don't like it though. Does anyone know a recipe for it? If not I could phone up a friend of mine and get it from him.

Cut your meat to size you prefere I like mine about 1/2-3/4" thick and as long as I can.
Then mix brown sugar, coarse salt and coriander into a bowl (acording to taste but don't skimp on salt as that's one of the main preservatives) Then sprinklie this mixture onto the meat and also vinigar (have to get it just right or your Biltong would either rot/taste like shhit)
Let stand for 12 to 18 hours and hang in a well vented area with no flies or other insects also if it's a damp climate it helps to have some fans on it while it hangs as it can get mouldy if it's too damp. Takes between a week and 14 days to dry depending on how thick the meat is. PM me for more questions.
Takes some experimenting and I measure with the eye try it and see what works best for you
 
Anyone care to share their SA biltong recipe?

First batch is almost done in my newly constructed biltong box but looking for other spice ideas. Used similar spices to the one above but used malt vinegar with some Worcester sauce as well.

Via dankie in advance
 
Reviving an old one for the benefit of all you lovely Canadians. If you haven't already, try some biltong. Buy it, beg for it, or try these recipes, they seem solid. Without starting a war and with all the due respect, biltong is really nice.dare I say better than Jerky
 
why of course it is better than jerky!
biltong is made of prime cuts whereas jerky... not so much
there are quite a few youtube videos on the subject
you can build your biltong box out of anything. I made mine from a rubbermaid tall tote box. Drill some holes and add a fan. Done. (mm)
