Biltong

Biltong can be made from beef, venison or ostrich. The meat is cut into strips, packed in salt & spices, & then hung up to dry. It is normally very hard when dry (almost black on the outside & a dark red on the inside), & is normally eaten by slicing thin strips across the grain of the stick of biltong. It is also used in a powdered form in cooking & on sandwiches.

Mix ingredients. Layer beef in large enough container, tossing some of the mixture over each layer. Make sure the salt is distributed evenly over the individual layers. Cover container with cloth & wait two days before hanging up to dry.
