Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 pounds Lean Rump Roast (sliced 1/8" thick by 2 - 2 1/2" wide strips)
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, smoke, and brown sugar together and pour over beef strips. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight. If you are using a food dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.
- If you do not have a dehydrator you may use your oven. Turn the oven on low, 150 -175 degrees. the temperature should not go over 175 degrees.
- Place the strips of beef on a wire rack that has been set on top of a jelly roll or sheet pan. The pan will collect the liquid and the wire rack will let the air circulate for better drying.
- When placing the strips on the wire rack do not overcrowd the pieces. Turn the strips two or three times during drying. This method will take 6 to 8 hours depending on the thickness of the meat.
Recipe Tips
For optimal flavor penetration, slice the meat before marinating rather than after. The thinner and more consistent your slices, the more evenly your jerky will dry. If you find slicing difficult, partially freezing the meat for 1-2 hours will make it firmer and easier to cut into consistent strips.
