What is "biltong"?

Biltong is a type of dried and cured meat that originated in Southern Africa, particularly in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. It is typically made from lean cuts of beef or game meat, such as venison or ostrich, that are marinated in a mixture of vinegar, salt, and spices, such as coriander, black pepper, and chili, before being air-dried. The meat is then thinly sliced into strips and served as a high-protein snack. Biltong is known for its rich flavor, tender texture, and long shelf life, making it a popular choice for outdoor activities, travel, and snacking.
