Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 5 hours
Total Time 6 hours

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Suitable cut of beef ( round is considered best by many)
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tsp Liquid Smoke
  • 1 tbl Oregano
  • 2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions

  • First, put the meat in the freezer for about a half hour. This makes it much easier to slice.
  • Slice thinly and as uniformly as you can. You are shooting for 1/8th inch thick.
  • Combine all the other ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Place the meet slices in a large ziplog bag.
  • Pour in the mixed marinade and let soak for anywhere from 45 minutes to 24 hours.
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat an oven to 175F (I had no idea my oven would even go that low).
  • Line 2 baking shits with tin foil and place wire racks on top. Lay out the meat in a single layer avoiding overlapping or touching slices together.
  • Cook for at least 3 hours and up to 6 until you have the texture you want.
