This was underwhelming...
I have never tried biltong before but were always fascinated by the idea. I finally did it, super excited to try and it was... Nothing. I dont know what went wrong or if it did but there is no beefieness to this meat. Its not spoiled, saltiness is good, I can taste the spices, the sauce but no beef? It just tastes weird. Anyway here is what I did, it stayed in salt for 3 hours and sauce for 2,5 hours. its kinda hot here nowadays so this only took 3 days to dry in a biltong box I've made and loose 45% of its weight. I can push my finger in the middle and it goes in like memory foam, which felt kinda wrong but no spoilage in taste because it has no taste... I kinda wanna bite a huge chunk out of it to see if I feel anything.
Edit: I've served it to a buch of people and they actually liked it, granted they like vinegar. This made me realize that the vinegar is in fact too strong for my own liking and spices were not it for me. Also the meat is super duper lean so it is not so flavorful. Will try different seasoning and marinade next (open for suggestions) and place the meat further from the fan.
