  6. Sprinkle a layer of rock salt over the meat and coriander
  7. Repeat steps 3-5 until all meat is in the container
  8. Mix apple cider vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, Vegemite and chilli flakes in a jug

  11. Once meat is cured, remove from container and brush off excess salt
  12. Place meat into dehydrator ensuring that there is space around each piece of meat for air to circulate. Drying times will vary according to your preferences (we dry ours for approx. 18 hours and the biltong is still slightly red in the middle).
