Instructions:
- Wash the meat.
- Cut the meat at an angle with the grain
into about one inch strips. - Sprinkle vinegar over the
meat - Place the coriander in a bag and lightly crush the whole coriander so
that the effect of the coriander will be greater. - Make the "biltong mix" by
combining the course salt, brown sugar, coriander, black pepper. - Dip the meat
into the "biltong mix" until all the mix is used up. - Place the meat in a tray
for a few hours, or over night, in the fridge. - After a few hours dump any
blood that has seeped out of the meat. - Dip the biltong quickly into a
water/vinegar mixture to remove surface salt. - Hang the biltong by making a
very small incission through the slice of meat with a knife about an inch from
the end of the meat. - Cut the string into about 10 inch strips which are
placed through the meat and tied to form a loop. - Hang the biltong in a place
not to far from an electrical outlet by taking the loop of string and place it
on the hook or nail or hangar or whatever device you have created to suspend the
meat. - To dry the meat turn on the light(regular light bulb) and the fan and
leave for about 4-7 days depending on humidity, temperature and taste
