Chakalaka biltong — now that’s a South African flavor bomb! 🇿🇦🔥

Here’s a quick breakdown:

🥩 What It Is

Chakalaka biltong combines two icons of South African cuisine:

• Biltong: air-dried, spiced beef (similar to jerky but richer and more tender).

• Chakalaka: a spicy relish made from tomatoes, onions, beans, peppers, and chillies.

When you put them together, you get biltong infused with chakalaka-style spices — a zesty, smokey, slightly sweet, and fiery snack that packs both protein and punch.
