Good Day All

I've been following, investigating, searching, you name it on this web site and forums for the last month now. Probably addicted to it. What a great site and interactive forums. Loads of info, tips and advise. The picture gallery is only to get jealous of.

Wer'e leaving early tomorrow morning for our first hunting trip for the season. Absolutely looking forward to it and can't wait.

How about some biltong recipes. Or have they been carried over from genenartion to generation and is highly confidential. :D:D:D

Regards

Welcome to AH Mafuta! Have a great time on your hun ting trip and share some pictures when you get back! Are you in South Africa?
 
Yes, in Centurion, South Africa. Off to Marble Hall area, Limpopo, early tomorrow morning.
 
Alright. Here is my recipe and process developed through trial and error and incredible consultation.

Only caution is watch the amount of time the meat is left in the brine. It can become to salty very quickly.


2Kg Meat
Sliced 1/2 inch thick strips

Rinse 1:
Rinsed meat in 1/10 White Vinegar and Water
10 Minutes

Spice:
Corriander 1 cup whole
Black Pepper 1/2 cup black pepper
Garlic 1 TBSp

Cure:
Large Coarse Salt 500mg
Baking Soda 2 Tsp
Brown Sugar 150mg

Rinse 2:
100% White Vinegar Rinse


Process:

Rinse 1
Meat Sliced into Strips
Meat Rinsed in 10% solution for 10 minutes

Spice:
Grind All Spices in grinder course grind

Cure:
Mix/Blend ingredients in food processor to get the ingredients into homogeneous mixture.
Coat the meat completely in spice
Allow to sit for a few minutes
Remove any excess by rubbing lightly

Place in a container
Alternating Layers of Brine and meat in container
Layer of Brine in the bottom.
Cover meat in Container
2 HOURS MAX

Rinse 2
Place Vinegar in a container
Drain meat from brine
Dip meat into vinegar bath to remove all salt
Allow to drain
(Note Baking Sodas active)

Sprinkle meat with remaining Spice mixture
Layer meat and spice in container
12 HOURS in fridge steeping
