Well a coworkers husband made some damn good beef jerky and has sent some my way a couple times. This got me to missing some good ole biltong. So I decided to try and make some. We will see how it ends up in a couple days. I think Im going to pull a sample on day 2 and see how it is.. I prefer mine more moist than dry.
For those who dont know what biltong is, it is a type of cured meat similar to beef jerky. Its a South African traditional meat that is awesome. Its just some leaner cuts of meat that is cured in vinegar, seasoning and then dried.
My ghetto biltong box (had $7 or so into it)
Couple PC fans to exhaust the moisture
The lightbulb helps gently heat the air and dry it. If it all goes well, I will probably build a nice wood box to keep making it.
Hope it will end up looking like thisad 2 days:
Some like it much drier and harder to chew and looks like this which is dried for 3-4 days:
