How to Make Beef Jerky Biltong Flavouring

  1. In a bowl, thoroughly mix together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 tablespoons coarse sea salt, 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons coriander seeds (lightly crushed).
  2. Slice 2 lbs beef (top round, sirloin, or flank steak) against the grain into 1cm thick slices, approximately 2.5cm wide.
  3. Place a single layer of beef slices in a large, food-safe plastic container. Lightly sprinkle with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the meat, avoiding excessive amounts that could drown the beef's flavor.
  5. Repeat layers of beef, vinegar, and spice mixture until all meat is used.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove from the refrigerator and gently but thoroughly mix the beef and spices to ensure even distribution.
  8. Drain any excess liquid from the container.
  9. Return to the refrigerator for another 3 hours (or longer for more intense flavor).
  10. Preheat your dehydrator according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  11. Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring proper airflow.
  12. Dehydrate at 160°F (71°C) until the jerky is completely dry and chewy, typically 12-24 hours, checking regularly for desired consistency. Drying time will vary based on thickness of meat and dehydrator type.
  13. Allow jerky to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
