About Biltong
Biltong is a South African dried-meat snack. Eric’s 2 Guys & A Cooler recipe uses beef silverside with a vinegar-and-salt cure, coriander and pepper, followed by air drying.
Toasted coriander supplies the main aromatic spice. Red wine vinegar contributes tang, Worcestershire sauce adds savoury depth, and optional chilli flakes provide heat.
The beef remains in substantial strips during drying and has a spice-coated surface. The source distinguishes softer, wetter biltong from a firmer dry style, with its own preference falling between those textures.
