5 Top Tips to making your own Biltong:
1. Use Silverside - it's better than sirloin, rump or fillet
2. Don't over salt - you will throw it away!
3. Hang in a cool, well-ventilated place or dryer
4. Use a 75Watt globe in your dryer to prevent moulding
5. Freeze biltong in brown paper to preserve &
defrost at room temperature

Various biltong dryers and dehydrators are available

I served them hot with loads of butter, and Chicken Livers Peri-Peri (to mop up all that moreish sauce).
