 Meet Traditional Biltong

When we say Traditional, we’re talking authentic South African biltong: a recipe that we’re proud to bring to the states. We roll the meat in seasoning and vinegar to build that savory foundation. The coriander, salt, pepper, and rosemary rub is pulled into the high quality steaks over a weeks long air drying process, giving them that distinct full-bodied beef flavor. Delicately and thinly sliced, our biltong has a prosciutto-like quality but is packed with flavor and protein.

The Inspiration Behind Traditional Biltong

For hundreds of years biltong has been a staple in South African culture. Families have their own treasured biltong-making setups so they can make it at home. Recipes are cherished. Delis and butcher shops all around SA are guaranteed to have biltong. In the US and Canada? Not so much. Bull & Cleaver has brought our little slice of tradition and wants to share the family recipe to those who miss it, those who want a healthier and more substantial snack, and to anyone who wants to dive into biltong.
