Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoked Beef Jerky.
Step 1
To start your delicious smoked sirloin journey, grab a large nonporous bowl and mix together soy sauce, ground black pepper, cider vinegar, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 2
Stir these ingredients well to create a flavorful marinade that will infuse your beef with mouthwatering taste.
Step 3
Next, add your sirloin slices to the bowl, making sure each piece is generously coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Once they’re all dressed up, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Let the sirloin soak up those rich flavors for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 6
This step is crucial for achieving that deep, savory taste.
Step 7
When you’re ready to smoke, take the sirloin out of the marinade and lay the slices in a single layer on wire racks.
Step 8
Don’t forget to discard the marinade; it’s done its job! Now, it’s time to fire up your outdoor smoker.
Step 9
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat it, and add some wood chips to enhance the flavor of your beef.
Step 10
Once your smoker is ready, carefully place the wire racks with the sirloin slices inside.
Step 11
Let the magic happen as you smoke the beef over low heat for 6 to 8 hours.
Step 12
Keep an eye on it; you’ll know it’s ready when the edges look dry but the center still has a hint of moisture.
Step 13
This slow smoking process will transform your sirloin into a tender, flavorful delight that’s sure to impress.
Step 14
Enjoy the delicious results of your patience and effort!.
