WHAT IS BILTONG?
It’s a delicious dried meat snack that’s made from big chunks of beef steak, marinated in vinegar and other spices. Various spices can be used to add flavour but the most common include black pepper, coriander and sea salt. The marinated steaks are then hung in a room that circulates air around the pieces to slowly dry them out at ambient temperatures. This keeps biltong soft and tender during the drying process. Once dried, you’re left an air dried steak aka biltong, that can easily be sliced into thin, easy-to-enjoy strips.
WHAT IS BILTONG MADE OF?
Just in case you’d missed it earlier, biltong is made from dried beef steaks. By sourcing the healthiest beef possible and avoiding preservatives, our biltong differs from most in that it’s made with a health focus in mind. We use biltong to complement our own lifestyles as the perfect high protein, low carb, real food.
It’s marinated in vinegar and other spices to add flavour and after that, we hang it out to air dry.
During this time, the steaks lose most of their weight from water evaporation. About 3kg of beef is used to make 1.5kg of biltong. What’s left is a convenient and dense source of protein that tastes great
