Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of beef silverside, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup of coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds, crushed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of coarse salt, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds to create the marinade.
- Add the thinly sliced beef silverside to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
- After marinating, remove the beef from the bowl and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the beef slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake the biltong in the preheated oven for 2-3 hours, or until dried and firm to the touch. Check for doneness after 2 hours, as thicker slices may require additional time.
- Once dried, allow the biltong to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy as a flavorful and savory snack!
