    With a sharp knife, slice the beef into 1/4 inch thick slices against the grain. (This is easier if the meat is partially frozen.) Trim any fat or connective tissue.

    • 2 Pound trimmed beef top or bottom round, sirloin tip or flank steak

  • 4

    Put the beef slices in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade mixture over the beef, and massage the bag so that all the slices get coated with the marinade.

  • 5

    Seal the bag and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.

  • 6

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 165°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    Dry the beef slices between paper towels. Arrange the meat in a single layer directly on the grill grate.

    Smoke for 4 to 5 hours, or until the jerky is dry but still chewy and somewhat pliant when you bend a piece.
