Savory Smokehouse Beef Jerky Recipe: A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

• 2 cups of rich soy sauce
• A cup of flavorful Worcestershire sauce
• A cup of refreshing cranberry-grape juice
• A cup of delectable teriyaki sauce (like Soy Vay®)
• One tablespoon of zesty hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco®)
• Two tablespoons of savory steak sauce (like A1®)
• A cup of sweet light brown sugar
• Half a teaspoon of aromatic ground black pepper, adjusted to your preference
• Two pounds of tender flank steak, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces against the grain
• Four cups of fragrant wood chips, or more if required

Step 1

Combine a flavorful medley of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cranberry-grape juice, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, steak sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Transfer this tantalizing marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Slide in the flank steak, ensuring it's fully coated with the marinade. Squeeze out any lingering air and securely seal the bag. Let it marinate in the fridge for 8 to 10 hours to soak up all those delicious flavors.

Step 2

Once marinated, take out the flank steak, gently pat off any excess marinade, and lay it out on the wire racks of your smoker. While it's fine if the meat pieces touch, avoid stacking them for even smoking. Carefully position the racks inside the smoker, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Utilize 4 wood chip pans, replenishing one pan per hour, and smoke the steak until it achieves a jerky-like texture. This process typically takes around 6 to 8 hours, resulting in perfectly smoked and delectable jerky that snaps when bent.
