Prep time: 6.75 Hours

Serves: 6

Difficulty: Beginner

Cook time: 7 Hours

Ingredients

Beef

• 4 pound beef round
• lime zest, grated
• handful oak and cherry wood chunks

Marinade

• 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• juice of 2 limes
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup honey

Preparation

(1)   Place the beef round in the freezer for 45 minutes (this makes the beef much easier to slice!)

(2).  Using a chef’s or butcher knife, carefully cut the beef round across the grain into 1/4-inch slices.

(3)   Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the beef slices and let marinate a minimum of 6 hours. (leave to marinate overnight for the best flavour!)

(4)   Preheat your smoker to 180°F.

(5)   Remove the beef slices from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place the beef slices into your smoker and toss 4 to 8 apple oak or cherry wood chunks onto hot coals.

(6)   Close the lid and cook for 5 – 7 hours, or until the jerky is fully cooked.

(7)   Remove the jerky from your smoker and season with freshly grated lime zest. Enjoy!
