Tattooed Bull produces 100% rump steak biltong in Charters Towers.


What is Biltong?

Biltong is a high protein, tasty beef snack that originated in South Africa. While similar to jerky, in that it's a preserved meat, biltong relies on simple, natural flavourings whereas jerky often contains flavouring which contains high levels of sugar and salt. Unlike most store-bought product, this hand-made biltong contains no preservatives.



Traditional Ingredients





The Tattooed Bull biltong is made with premium rump steak sourced from a local butcher in Charters Towers and is made on the day the rump is sliced. It is then combined with traditional Crown National spices from South Africa.


This results in mouth watering flavours like:

  • Hickory Smoke BBQ - with a "liquid" smoke sauce that adds a great depth of flavour
  • Red Wine & Garlic - Cabernet Sauvignon and garlic, finished with a pink salt and rosemary rub
  • 6 Gun Grill - a bit smokey, a little spicy and very tasty

There are ten flavours in total - other flavours include:

  • Mesquite Texan BBQ
  • Peppered Steak
  • Traditional South African
  • Mild Chilli BBQ
  • Spicy Chakalaka
  • Smokin' Hot Chilli


No preservatives





Once cured, the biltong is vacuum sealed, which allows it to last up to 2 months without added preservatives.


They come in packs of 80g or 250g "share" packs (if you're willing to share).

Alex & Belle





Alex and Belle moved to Charters Towers with their three children in 2010 so that Belle could take up a teaching position. Their plan was to stay a year or two before moving back to South East Queensland to be near family. But having lived in Perth and Brisbane where an hour commute to and from work each day was the norm, they found that living in The Towers was just the country change they needed – and they have made it their home ever since.


After working as a teacher’s aide at a local school for 10 years, Alex decided he needed a change. He had been making biltong on and off for over 20 years and selling it to colleagues and students at work, so it was a fairly easy transition to create Tattooed Bull Beef Biltong in July 2020.


They converted a room in their house to be a commercial kitchen – tiling it and fitting it out with commercial equipment to upscale production and now ship their product Australia wide.


Alex loves making biltong. He says, “I dry the entire steak as a strip and then hand cut it for easy nibbling. Our Biltong is trimmed of all fat and dries down to around 45% of its original weight while concentrating the flavours and retaining all of the protein.”


He appreciates the fact that his product is closely linked to one of Charters Towers' core industries and ensures that he sources local rump steak for his biltong. In his spare time, he and Belle love to get out with their camper and show the kids a bit of the country.


They have driven to Uluru, returning via the South Coast in 2018 and last Christmas they drove to Perth via the top end. They camp at Anna Branch every Easter and enjoy kayaking, fishing and swimming.


Alex says, “This family time with our kids is precious”.
