Food Debate: Biltong Dryness Edition

[Carl 9.3x62]

Going off the jerky thread, those of you who eat biltong, what's your fancy? I definitely like it more dried out than not.

I haven't tried enough of it to have a preference. But I haven't had any of it that I didnt like.

I made it for the first time last fall. Some pieces were more dry than others, but my favorite had a good firm dry exterior and a bit softer interior.

Haven’t tried it yet. Will make it when I have enough meat to justify hanging some backstrap strips. Looks really good though

1st attempt. This was in May of 2024. Marinated beef for 24 hours and air-cured it in my garage with a netting enclosure.


After 4 days.



After day 5, it was good enough for me.
