Agreed, that's why we need Costco !!

Groupbuy on costco membership. Could we get a business one in the name of Subyclub lol?

Fair enough. I'll take some. Whereabouts do you buy the stuff and what flavour/meat do you recommend?

[Sven Smergberd]

Biltong stokkies.

It's the shit.

Find it in the South African aisle in any Coles in the Eastern 'burbs.

If not that, then 'Roadkill' is good too. A dehydrater is only $80 if you try to make your own.

Yo yo. .
Beef stokkies.. exactly what nick had a try of. .
Although not as cheap as costco stuff it's the goods!
I pay $79 per KG.. As opposed to $32 for costco stuff.

[JRod]

my housemates a keen bow hunter and lives on a property near Glen Innes in nsw where there is a lot of deer, he made some venison jerky that shit is soo good along with venison steaks, venison stir frys and venision stew 

Anyone who hasn't tried venison (deer) in any of these combinations really should its basically a lean beef imo 

 

Back to jerky 

[Barbbachello]

[B4TT]

I can vouch for both Venison being awesome and also Kangaroo.

What's a biltong?

Not sure  if kidding or you have missed most of this thread.

[Liberty]

Oh, it's a variety of South African cured meat. I thought it was a brand or something of jerky. My bad.

Nah, It is Gary, you can't stay mad at Gary if you tried.

 

 

Also the roo is nice, but incredibly salty - probably a bit too salty to be honest.

[Liberty]

You can't get mad at me to begin with. Bitch.

Hi,

 

So Jerky is dried using heat and often contains preservatives/sugars - Biltong is dried with air, and would be expected/assumed to be additive free.

 

More tender than jerky.

 

This is whiskey beef jerky

Mmmm, that looks amazing Nik, hows it taste ?

Biltong can be rubbed with brown sugar as part of the spice mix. And is soaked in vinegar prior to that, as a natural preservative.

 

Biltong slices are tender, but the stokkies are dry and snap or split, sort of almost in a fibrous nature*. 

 

I think maybe the Stokkies are smoked at some point as they contain about 12% Ash*.

 

 

* This is with Protea Foods Biltong.

Hi,

 

Rubbing and soaking is OK, I mean additives like corn syrup and msg, nitrates. etc.

Roge, yeah I feel as though some of the commercial jerky is a bit over processed. I considered getting a dehydrater, and an old boss had one, he used to make watermelon chips and jerky, but it's just another appliance to gather dust after the novelty wears off.
