biltong
South African jerky
Biltong is dried, cured meat originating in Southern Africa, typically beef but sometimes game.
Unlike jerky, it's air-dried rather than smoked, and seasoned with vinegar, salt, and spices like coriander.
The meat is cut into strips or slabs and dried for days: He packed biltong for the hiking trip.
Popular as a high-protein snack.
