Making Biltong – Gavin's Homemade Biltong
Making Biltong – Its easy if you do it right. Being brought up on a farm in Zimbabwe with lots of hunting and fishing and having a Father who loved the outdoors it became second nature to make biltong every fortnight or so during the hunting season. I was a keen helper and got to learn the ropes at a very early age. The art of Biltong Making…

Hi Gavin, I'm also from Rhodesia, moved to SA for many years but now living in Mauritius 😊So nice to watch your videos. So I'm guessing you use the soya sauce to give the stokkies a browner colour? So would it be dark or light soya sauce? And a plain, straight forward Balsamic vinegar?
So could I use this Namibian spice as the "base" recipe to use either a "chilli" flavour, or a "barbecue" flavour, in order to vary the taste I'm looking for? Best regards
That's just the basic spice mixture. Why don't you share the secret ingredients that makes it taste so good?
Is there never an end result?
It´s fantastic to find a biltong eating Rhodie on line.
You make biltong the right way, same as i do.
Baas Gavin wena yazi kuyenza lo biltong kakhulu
Conway we have a Conway making biltong in Perth Western Australia must be related another Rhodie for sure hykona maan
Hey Gavin I think you have the measurements wrong as coriander is surely more than 4 grams.
Does anyone have a grams to teaspoons translation of this recipe I live in California and and we don't use grams in cooking thanks for any help.
Hi Gavin. How do you "store" your biltong waiti g to be sold ? I've heard guys wrap it in newspaper and then with cling wrap before putting it in the freezer.
Is brown vinegar malt vineger ?
Hi Gavin. Thanks for all your advice so far. It has been most helpful. I have however received a very strange request from a customer wanting me to make Baby Teething Biltong. Any advice on this ? I believe it requires a lot less spice etc but I am unsure. Also, I am thinking of mixing garlic powder into my biltong spice for my stokkies. Any advice on "amounts" for this ?. Thanks . BRANDON
Hi Gavin. I'm very curious about the "vinegar mixes" everyone uses. I generally just use a 3 parts Brown Vinegar to 1 part Worcestershire sauce mixture for maranading. Is this ok in your opinion or is there some other mixture you recommend me trying (not asking for your personal secret recipe) ?
Can u take all the fat off
Hi Gavin and thank you for sharing. I see you cut the meat against the grain, yet I read in all biltong recipes that you should cut the strips with the grain. Is there a reason you do it differently?
Can i ask, how much potassium do you use? Also I think i use way too much spice in mine. I use 50g per kg, i might have to cut it back.
Hi Gavin, I grew up in the Kalahari but now live in Aus. Thank you for sharing this, I tried it with Samber deer and worked brilliantly. Reminded me of how my parents made biltong with venison. Have you done a droewors one yet?
Hi Gavin, what type of salt and vinegar do you use here in the UK, in SA I use to use normal brown grape vinegar and rock salt but brush off the rock salt after a couple of hours.
Are the spice mix ratios correct. Only 4 grams of sugar on 4 kg of meat seems low. That’s less than a teaspoon and you’ve certainly used more for your batch.
How much salt do you use per kg?
Do you supply the Spice sprinkler..
I still prefer soaking the meat in a brown viniger, white viniger and water mixture for a couple of hours. Nothing beats it smell and taste!
Gavin you are like a machine 👍
How much potassium sorbate did you add to this mix?
Thanks for another cracking video Gavin, really easy to understand 👍
Thanks, Gavin. The tip for cutting up smaller pieces is brilliant! I'm a "DIYer" here in the UK and use the Lidl silverside roasts (to good effect – at least my family thinks so… 🙂 ). But they're often not available in particularly big roasts. I have about 3kg of hanging capacity in my little DIY Ikea cabinet which I converted into a biltong box, but it has a small footprint and is quite tall, so your advice will really help me maximise the yield of my batches. Thank you!
Im always waiting for these videos. Love it man I live in the states can't wait to try this.
