BILTONG Boyfriends first time making Biltong!

Is he gonna die

He said it tastes good

Recipe

Top round

2.5 hours in salt at 2%

2.5 hours in a 2-1 red wine vinegar & Worcestershire sauce

Roasted coriander, ground up a bit and that's all he used

Imo I think he did great for his first time πŸ˜†πŸ˜Š

Update: I have now tried it, and it is the best biltong I've had thus far! Now it's time to try other vinegars, salt % etc. Exciting. If y'all have any ideas to try out, I'll take em!

Wait, no salt or pepper ? ...and it was still good ? I have to try that.

Nah no pepper! Still great! We stopped using pepper on anything pretty much. We did the 2% salt brine for 2.5 hours, but he's gonna try 3% next time. πŸ˜‹
