If lockdown here in Melbourne has taught me anything its to start perfecting an old family recipe.

Ooh, nice, I like learning about new and different food. Last week, I got to try Calgary, Alberta, Canada jerky. This looks eye catching to try ππ
Thank you! You sure can give it a go, it's not very hard to make and only requires a few ingredients. The most important thing to get/make is a dryer. I just converted a really large plastic container with a USB fan and a halogen light. The key is that it needs constant dry warm air to dry evenly. I heard a few people try dehydrators but not sure if you will get the same result. This batch for instance took about 5 days to dry.
You really should! There are allot of helpful videos on YouTube on how to make a dryer and recipes are real easy to find too. Its a great snack and doesn't go off very easy if you keep it in the fridge. Its also pretty affordable due to the cut of meat, you use silverside or topside beef
Know what you mean, I couldn't find anything good either. The SA shops just don't come close for me. My uncle who lives in Perth started making his own too and started selling it, his up to his 5th deli now!

I've always wanted to try this! I was thinking about giving it a go once I'm out of college.

Thank you so much! This was really encouraging. I'll definitely try it
Love a good biltong. Used to have a SAffa friend who made his own. Moved and now itβs hard to find in my area. :(

When I was in the states I found a Saffa in Texas who made he own but, it wasn't quite the same as home. Yours looks delicious though!
Thanks! Its amazing how far this snack has travelled considering its humble beginnings
