National Braai Day - How to Make Biltong (South Africa Heritage Day Recipes)

beef

🥗Healthier: venison

💰Cheaper: pork

Venison is leaner and more nutritious, while pork is often cheaper.

Select the meat, preferably rump steak for its softness.

Prepare a sealable container for marinating the meat.

Layer the meat in the container and pour a mixture of vinegar and Worcestershire sauce over it, using a ratio of 5 parts vinegar to 1 part sauce.

Seal the container and turn the meat every half hour for 3 hours to ensure even marination.

Prepare the spice mix by combining equal volumes of salt, crushed pepper, and whole coriander seeds, then grind them together.

After marinating, remove the meat from the container and coat it liberally with the spice mixture on both sides, including the fat.

Return the spiced meat to the container and let it cure for 24 hours.
