Preparation

Step 1

Whisk Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, paprika, honey, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl. Add beef to bowl and turn to coat beef completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.

Preheat smoker to 175-200 degrees F.

Transfer beef to paper towels to dry. Discard marinade. Arrange beef slices in a single layer on the smoker grill.

Bake beef in the preheated smoker until dark and dry, 4 to 5 hours. Cut with scissors into bite-size pieces.
