Beef Jerky is a popular snack around the world, with origins that date back to ancient times. It was initially used as a way to preserve meat for extended periods, making it easier for people to travel and store food for long periods. Today, it is a popular high-protein snack that is widely available in various flavors and textures to suit different people's preferences. This recipe will help you make your own beef jerky with a biltong flavouring that is sure to satisfy your taste buds and keep you energized throughout the day.

Instructions

1.	Slice the beef into very thin strips, cutting off any excess fat.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, coriander, salt, and brown sugar.
3.	Add the beef strips to the seasoning mixture and mix well, ensuring every piece is coated thoroughly.
4.	Pour the vinegar into the mixing bowl, ensuring all beef strips are submerged. Cover with a lid or cling film and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, stirring the mixture occasionally to ensure the strips are evenly marinated.
5.	Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
6.	Remove the beef strips from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
7.	Arrange the beef strips on the lined baking tray, ensuring they are not touching each other.
8.	Bake the beef strips for 2-4 hours, depending on the thickness of the strips, until they are dry and chewy to your liking. Allow them to cool before serving.
