Steak Slices are based on the concept of South African Biltong which is a natural, tender, air-dried meat snack bursting with natural flavours akin to a well-seasoned steak.

It's a powerhouse of protein (up to 67%), rich in iron, vitamin B12, zinc, and creatine. Plus, it's free from additives, and preservatives, and has low to no sugar, making it keto and gluten-free friendly.

Benefits of Steak Slices:

• High protein
• Low sugar
• No nitrates
• All-natural preservation method allows for varied textures (fat or 'wet')
• Mouthwatering taste with no compromise on nutrition

The Process

Although our Exact process is a carefully guarded secret, the following is the basis for producing Biltong on which Steak Slices is based:

Choose the Meat

Traditionally, beef silverside or topside is used. The meat is sliced into thick strips (about 1 inch wide and 6–8 inches long).

Cure with Vinegar & Salt

The meat is coated in vinegar (malt, cider, or white vinegar) to tenderize it and prevent bacteria.

It’s then rubbed with coarse salt and left to rest for a few hours.

Seasoning 

• Coriander seeds (toasted & crushed)
• Black pepper
• Brown sugar
• Paprika or chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• Garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• The seasoned meat is left to marinate for several hours to absorb the flavors.

Air-Drying Process 

The meat strips are hung in a well-ventilated, dry space at room temperature (around 60–70°F / 15–22°C).

Proper air circulation is crucial.

Drying takes about 3–7 days, depending on humidity and personal preference.

Ready to Eat! 

Once dry but still slightly tender inside, the biltong is sliced into thin pieces and enjoyed as a protein-packed snack.
