I'm heading off to Frenchmans Cap and the Irenabyss soon, and have started preparing food. First off the rank has been a biltong recipe I got from a South African physio-therapist after I stuffed my ankle a few years ago. He only gave it to me verbally, with no amounts, and I had to remember it until I got home to write it down, so I hoped I got it right.
Made it up on the weekend, marinated for two days, and dehydrated it for most of yesterday. Tastes great! In any case, it sure tastes to me like the biltong I had from a South African doctor a few years earlier, so I'm happy with it.
My other jerky recipe is here.
Ingredients:
game meat, or beef
vinegar
worcestershire sauce
salt
pepper
coriander
Method:
Cut meat into thin slices.
Mix remaining ingredients together. Pour over the meat and marinade for a few hours or overnight.
Remove the meat and hang in a cool place until dry right through (or in a food dehydrator).
I used about 300 grams of meat (only beef this time

), half a cup of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of coriander (seeds), about a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, small amount of pepper and about 3 teaspoons of salt (I like my jerky salty, and when I was given some biltong from Sth African doctor once, it had salt crystalised on the outside of it).
