Beef Chief Droewors

Droëwors, also called Drywors or Meat Sticks, is a South African dried sausage made from minced beef, beef fat, salt, and spices in a natural lamb casing. Unlike kabana, it contains no gristle or bone—just tender, flavour-packed beef.

Beef Chief’s gluten-free Droëwors is made from grass-fed, MSA-graded Australian beef, delivering a snappy bite, rich beefy taste, and melt-in-your-mouth fat. It's low in sugar, perfect for keto and carnivore diets, and makes a great pairing with a cheese platter or beer.

Droëwors is also a cost-effective beef snack, priced lower than jerky or biltong, making it a tasty and affordable protein-packed option.

Droëwors (Drywors) are a dried sausage, so the process starts the same way as making a snag. We mix premium beef mince, spices, and salt, then feed it into natural lamb casings—avoiding artificial skins for a better bite.

Once the sausages are formed, they go through the same drying process as beef jerky or biltong. We hang them over hooks in a temperature-controlled dehydrator, where all the moisture is removed until they become a firm, flavour-packed sausage.

Finally, we cut them into bite-sized pieces and package them for sale—delivering tender, chewy, and protein-rich Beef Jerky Sticks for the perfect snack.

Beef Chief Droewors doesn’t need refrigeration or any special storage conditions. Just keep it out of direct sunlight and store it below 30°C for the best quality.

Chuck it in the pantry, your glovebox, or your camping gear—just don’t leave it on the dashboard on a 40-degree day!

Yes, you can freeze Beef Chief Droewors, but unless you're storing it for long-term consumption, I wouldn’t bother. It’s best fresh.

Freezing can slightly alter the texture, making it a bit firmer and less chewy. However, it remains safe to eat and still packs the same bold flavour.

For the best experience, store your beef sticks Australia style in a cool, dry place and enjoy them as fresh as possible!

You can share your Droewors with your mate, but don’t go overboard. While it’s made for human consumption, it’s still just beef, fat, and spices—nothing too nasty.

That said, our best mates can overeat just like we can. If you do give them a nibble, make sure it's in moderation. For a dog-friendly option, check out our Beef Chief Dog Treats—made with Aussie kangaroo, sweet potato, and vegetables, perfect for your furry mate!

Drying Droewors (or any beef sticks in Australia) depends on the drying method and conditions. On average, it takes 2-5 days to fully dry in a controlled environment.

• Humidity & Temperature Matter – The drier the air, the quicker it dries.
• Airflow is Key – Hanging in a well-ventilated space speeds up drying.
• Thickness of the Sausage – Thicker cuts take longer to fully dry.

At Beef Chief, we use a carefully controlled drying process to make sure every batch of Droewors has the perfect snap, chew, and flavour!
