WHAT IS BILTONG
Pronounced bil, as in Bill, and tong, as in tongs.
Think of your favourite cured meat but healthier and tastier. That’s biltong. It is made from carefully selected cuts of silverside beef, but what makes it biltong is that it goes through a specific curing process that originated in South Africa to preserve meat before refrigerators.
South Africans would cover meat in spices like coriander, salt and pepper, and vinegar. Then they’d hang the meat on a hook to dry (a.k.a. cure) for several days, slice it, and BOOM—biltong!
The culinary opportunities go way beyond snacking—you can shred it into salads, add it to sauces, put into sandwiches, add to dips, or use as a garnish. Yes biltong can make an appearance at every culinary event.
Biltong is hung and air-dried for a period, making it naturally tender. It gets marinated in salt and vinegar which gives biltong its distinct taste and also cures the meat. After drying, biltong is typically sliced into small ribbons (though some traditional styles in South Africa are sliced into larger one-inch chunks). All the flavour comes from the meat, vinegar and spices.
The Benefits of Biltong
For starters, biltong is a great source of protein, which can help your body recover after exercise, lose weight, and absorb nutrients more efficiently. It’s also high in iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which have been found to boost your immune system and energy.
Biltong has barely any sugars or carbs and is loaded with energy – exactly what athletes and sportspeople are seeking. Perfect for anyone looking for a healthy meat snack option.
