biltong

Biltong is seasoned, air-dried meat associated with South Africa. South African Tourism includes it among preserved foods in the country’s cooking traditions. The producer Biltong.com describes a beef version seasoned with salt, black pepper and toasted, ground coriander, then coated in malt vinegar.^[1][2]

In the producer’s account, the seasoned beef is refrigerated before drying. Pieces are hung separately with air circulating around them, then sliced after drying. The account describes small-batch production and notes that drying conditions affect the finished texture.^[2]
