Recipe's preparation

Slow Roast Seeds

Add 1/2 cup coriander seeds to mixing bowl

Add 1/4 cup coriander seeds to mixing bowl

Slow roast the seeds for 5 minutes

Complete preparation of Spice Mix

Blend on level 8 for 15 seconds Blend

Remove seeds and set aside in bowl.

Add 2BS peppercorns

Add 2.5 TBS fine Sea Salt

Add 2 TSP Paprika

Add 1 TBS Crushed Chili Flakes

Add 100g brown sugar

Add 1 TSP bicarbonate of soda

Add the coriander and fennel seeds which have been set aside

for 20 seconds on level 5

Prepare Meat

Cut the meat into 3-4 cm thick slices and put aside in a dish (roasting or similar) (Important to cut thick as it reduces when it dries) (Ensure that the total height of each piece is not too high for the Biltong machine. They must hang, you don't want them touching the bottom)

Prepare Basting Mix

Mix all 'basting mix ingredients' and leave to side

Marinate Meat

Take a roasting/oven dish (or similar) and add some of the basting mix and spice mix to start basting. Not to much, just enough to nicely baste a few pieces of meat and then you will add more as you go.[/size]

Dip each piece of meat in the basting/spice mix and thoroughly coat all over.

Add each piece of meat to a large roasting/oven dish or similar, until you've completed for all meat pieces, all vinegar and all spice.

Put all basted meat and any left over spice mix and basting mix into a large ziplock freezer bag to marinate. Put in the fridge for 5-12 hours. (Zip lock freezer bags work well, because you can turn every 30 minutes to ensure the marinade is covering all pieces nicely.)

Hang up meat to dry

Finally, hang up each piece in your biltong box dehydrator machine.
Should be ready in 1.5 - 3 days

Tip

You'll need a food dehydrater.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
