Chilli beef Biltong

Traditional South African Biltong — Air-Dried Beef
Proper biltong. Not jerky. 🇿🇦
Our traditional South African biltong is made the authentic way — using prime cuts of beef, hand-trimmed, seasoned with a time-honoured spice blend, and slowly air-dried to perfection. The result is tender, flavour-packed slices with that unmistakable rich, savoury taste South Africans know and crave.
Unlike jerky, biltong is never cooked or heat-treated. Instead, it’s cured and air-dried, which creates its signature texture — slightly firm on the outside, beautifully tender inside, and bursting with deep, natural beef flavour.
Made in small batches right here in the UK using traditional methods, our biltong delivers pure nostalgia for South Africans and a seriously addictive snack for everyone else.
Perfect for snacking, sharing, gym fuel, road trips, or late-night cravings.

How Our Biltong Is Made (Traditional Process)
At Boksburg Deli, we follow the same method used in South Africa for generations:
1. Prime Beef Selection
We use high-quality beef cuts, carefully trimmed and cut into thick strips for the perfect texture.
2. Authentic Seasoning
The meat is coated in our traditional spice blend — including toasted coriander, black pepper, salt, and vinegar — the classic flavours that define real biltong.
3. Curing Time
The seasoned beef is left to cure, allowing the flavours to penetrate deeply while preserving the meat naturally.
4. Slow Air-Drying
The cured strips are hung in a controlled airflow drying environment for several days. This gentle process removes moisture while locking in flavour — no heat, no smoking, no shortcuts.
5. Hand-Sliced to Order
Once perfectly dried, the biltong is sliced to your preference — from moist and tender to firm and traditional.
