Ingredients

• 1 pound beef chuck
• 1 pound pork shoulder
• 6 feet sheep sausage casings
• 2 tablespoons ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground clove
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup cold water

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the sheep casings in cold water for about 30 minutes. This will make them more pliable and easier to work with. Rinse the casings thoroughly, both inside and out, before using.

Step 2

Dice the beef chuck and pork shoulder into small cubes, making them easier to grind. Keep the meat cold while working to ensure good texture.

Step 3

Using a meat grinder with a coarse plate, grind the beef and pork into a large mixing bowl. Maintain a chilled environment to prevent the fat from melting.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the ground coriander, ground clove, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Add the spice mixture, white vinegar, minced garlic, and cold water to the ground meat. Use your hands to mix everything until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Carefully slide one end of a soaked and rinsed casing onto the sausage stuffer nozzle. Knot the end of the casing to prevent the meat from spilling out.

Step 7

Gently fill the casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill or create air pockets. Twist the sausages into desired lengths, usually around 12 inches.

Step 8

Refrigerate the sausages for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld. Heat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Grill the Boerewors, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this flavorful, Whole30-compliant Boerewors with your favorite veggies or a salad.
