Ingredients

Directions

Slice roast into slabs approximately ¼-inch thick. Trim off fat from the edges. Cut the slabs into pencil-like strips, about ¼-inch wide and about 4 inches long.

Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, and hickory-flavored liquid smoke together in a large bowl. Add meat and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Remove meat from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Place meat strips in a food dehydrator for about 12 to 20 hours, depending on how dry you like your jerky. Rotate the trays after 6 hours.

Cook’s Note

You can have the grocery store or butcher slice roast into slabs if preferred.

To rotate the meat strips in the food dehydrator: Bottom tray on top, top tray on bottom, second tray from bottom to be second tray from top, and so on.
