Ingredients
MAIN
- 4 Pound
- lean beef, such as flank steak
- 2/3 Cup

- 2/3 Cup
- worcestershire sauce
- 2/3 Cup
- teriyaki sauce
- 3 Tablespoon

- 1 Tablespoon

- 1 Tablespoon

- 1/4 Teaspoon

Steps
Step 1
- Freeze the beef for about 30 minutes; this will make it easier to slice.
Ingredients
4 Pound lean beef, such as flank steak
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire, and teriyaki sauce. Add the corn syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, sesame seeds, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper and stir well.
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup soy sauce
- 2/3 Cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2/3 Cup teriyaki sauce
- 3 Tablespoon dark corn syrup
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
Step 3
Slice the beef thinly (about ¼ inch thick) across the grain for super tender results. (Or, slice with the grain for extra-long slices with a steak-like chew.) Add the beef to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
Step 4
When ready to cook, preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 175°F (or 180°F if that’s the lowest your grill goes). If available, use Super Smoke.

Step 5
Place a wire rack on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Remove the meat from the marinade and, leaving space between each slice of meat, lay the slices on the rack. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the wire rack directly on the grill grates and smoke until dehydrated, 4 to 5 hours. The finished jerky should look leathery and feel dry but will still be pliant with a chewy, tender bite.
