Biltong?

(1/4) > >>

Grasshopper Mouse:
Has anyone here made biltong?
Biltong is a South African version of our beef jerky... kind of.
It can be made of beef, wild game, or other meats. It's dried but not usually to the point that we do jerky.
I've read about biltong in African hunting books and stories and would really like to try making it. There is some good info on YouTube and on the internet but the balance of it refers to a beef cut called silverside. I have no idea what silverside is in the US. My local butcher has never heard of that cut. I'm hoping someone here knows what it is or can offer me some advice.

Thanks,  Guy

Exceptions, in which the meat is sliced parallel to the fibers, include the skirt steak that is cut from the plate, the flank steak that is cut from the abdominal muscles, and the Silverfinger steak that is cut from the loin and includes three rib bones

Grasshopper Mouse:
jaxenro,
Are you saying these cuts of beef can also be used for biltong?
I have seen reference to using other cuts but the silverside cut seems to be the hands down favorite for traditional biltong makers. I just can't figure out what that's called here.

jaxenro:
No just a reference to what silver finger or silverside is I think they might've the same thing ?
