Biltong Again

[BGKYSmoker]

Yup

Got some biltong hanging today. 
Yesterday sliced up the round into larger chunks, made the biltong marinade and added some home smoked sea salt to the mix.

This morning have it hanging. Hang time may be from a few days to weeks depending on temp.

I have a 4" fan in the corner helping air flow. Yes its hanging in the closet of my 5th wheel.

She did ask me this morning why is the smell like worcy sauce? Because i used wocy this time. I put a non scented dog pad under the meat to catch any liquids.

This batch is turning out good.

It looks really good...

This is the thin slice. In the marinade i added brown sugar and lightly sprinkled the meat with baking soda before the marinade. Dont put the lid on as the vinegar/baking soda will react.

This is good stuff. I think im just going to stick with biltong making and skip the jerky stuff.

Rick, an interesting video. I have always used smaller strips which dry in two or three days. What is the main purpose of the baking soda?

 

[SmokinAl]

Great video Rick!

It makes me want to make some!

There is no cure in this?

Yeah i dont know who the guy is in the vid. No cure as the salt is enough. However i bet cure could be used.

 

[redheelerdog]

I am going to have to make some of this, looks delicious!

Thanks for the info and vid!

Thanks

Wish that was me making the vid but its not.

Got 3 hunks of the biltong in a cloth summer sausage bag, tied and sending to my friend in Nashville, she wants to try it.

Wish i could find a biltong cutter here in the states but its like trying to find a chicken with teeth.

I'm partial to the ones made with a planner blade. Easy to sharpen and easy to get replacement blades. I have been trying to justify making one. I suppose I could use it for cutting jerky too,

One could probably buy a small Guillotine Paper Trimmer. They start at about $10 on Amazon.

I'm pondering a plan.  It'll be after the holidays before I can work on it, but imagine a mini meat cleaver in action....

Well you guys that build, I can be a tester
