Another Round Of Biltong!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, it had been a while since we had some Biltong! London Broil was at a decent price… so why not do some!

So got a batch going this afternoon!

I have to give a shout out to my buddy Rick… BGKYSmoker ! He’s the one that got me hooked on Biltong! Thanks Rick for being patient with this old redneck and my endless questions back in the day… Rick is one hell of a teacher… his knowledge baffles me at times… but try to learn! Appreciate ya bud!

Thanks for lookin all!

Will update the thread as the Biltong progresses!

I like the smaller pieces as a tasty treat! They seem to cure the hankering!

In for the ride, does the process involve a dehydrator?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Biltong way better than jerky.

Nice process.

You should try some biltong summer sausage.

I love biltong! That looks good.

When I was in South Africa the local shops dry cured large chunks of meat usually in a windowed room or closet with a lot of fans blowing and we'd pick a Chunk and have em slice is for us. Grab a 6 pack of Castle beer and it was on!

Thanks for dropping a line and the like Jeff, Biltong is traditionally air dried. A dehydrator is not used for making it. Here’s a couple screenshots with a bit of info on Biltong.

I made my Biltong box using just a tote with holes in one end at the bottom to let air in, a computer fan on the opposite end of the holes and a variable control switch so I can turn it down low and just have a nice gentle air flow coming thru. I hang on wooden dowels and paper clips. I run this idea by Rick BGKYSmoker and he said it would work… and it does very nicely.

Hope this info helps answer your question.

Let me look at my binder for it.

Sorry for the delay adding pics… this was sliced at day 4. I personally think with these… I prefer pulling at day 3. But life got in the way a bit! That said… this is still damned tasty!

Anyway, here’s the results…

With Biltong, you don’t eat it like jerky… it has to be sliced thinner! It’s an absolute treat and goes well with a beer! I have to pace myself…. What a tasty snack!

One last time have to thank Rick… appreciate ya bud!

Thanks Rick, that would be awesome as I’d sure be interested in the binder! Appreciate it!

Nice! This one works so good!

Um, no you did not… I would be humbled if you did and would try my best making some awesome SD! I am trying to get into baking.
