Method
- Thinly slice your beef against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Set your Traeger grill to 160°F.
- Remove the beef from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Lay the strips of beef flat on the grill grates.
- Close the lid and smoke the beef for about 6 hours, or until it reaches your desired dryness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check if the jerky has reached an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Once done, remove the jerky from the grill and let it cool completely.
- Store it in resealable bags or an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, add your favorite spices or hot sauce to the marinade.
