Good stuff. Been making it for years. Got hooked on it in RSA in 1993

Place makes it locally and charges $65/lb for it.
Not hard to make, have done it before. The key is setting up a properly ventilated air dryer. I've not tried my dehydrator simply because it wouldn't handle the larger cuts that biltong is usually made with.

Tried some in South Africa, good stuff. I never thought of trying to make it myself, maybe in the peak of summer when the humidity is low.

5lbs of raw meet can dehydrate up to 90% of the original weight. Roughly 80oz fully hydrated and then 8oz after dehydration. I guess the OP is comparing 11oz of biltong to 8oz of dehydrated raw meat for the total protein content. I dunno.

I made 2 batches last year using Eileen Clarke’s recipe from her “Slice of the Wild” wild game cookbook. One from moose, one from mule deer, outstanding!
I’ll be making more before hunting season starts this fall.
