Ingredients for beef biltong:
-Some good meat, ideally beef rump (though many use topside/silverside)
-White spirit vinegar (or alternatively brown vinegar) [5 parts]
-Worcestershire sauce [1 part]
-Coarse Salt, ground [1 part]
-Crushed Pepper [1 part]
-Crushed Coriander Seeds [1 part]

Optional extras:
-Chilli spices [1 part]


Method:
-Mix 5 parts vinegar with 1 part Worcestershire Sauce.
-Soak meat in vinegar mix in a sealed container for at least 3 hours. Turn frequently.
-Remove from vinegar mix.
-Sprinkle with the spices (1 part each) on all sides.
-Let sit in spices for 24 hours in the sealed container, placed in a dark location.
-Hang up to dry in a well-aired location - you can even put a fan facing the meat to ensure air movement - with fat receiving the most light/sun/air.
-Leave to cure for at least 5 days, or more, depending on how wet you enjoy your biltong.


Extra tip:
-If your fat still needs some curing but the meat is how you like it, place the fat facing up, in some direct sunlight for a further few hours.
