My husband came up with this while playing around one night attempting to come up with a new recipe, and everyone adored it!
| Prep Time: | 30 mins |
| Cook Time: | 6 hrs |
| Additional Time: | 8 hrs |
| Total Time: | 14 hrs 30 mins |
| Servings: | 8 |
| Yield: | 1 pound |
Ingredients
- 2 cups soy sauce
- 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup cranberry-grape juice
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce (such as Soy Vay®)
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
- 2 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A1®)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/4 inch slices against the grain
- 4 cups wood chips, or as needed
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cranberry-grape juice, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, steak sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the flank steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours.
- Remove the flank steak from the marinade and wipe off the excess. Place the flank steak onto the wire racks of the smoker. It is ok if the meat is touching, but to not stack.
- Place the racks into a smoker, and smoke according to manufacturer’s directions, using 4 pans of wood chips (1 pan per hour) until the jerky has dried and will break when bent, 6 to 8 hours.

Great recipe. Used my Pit Boss smoker and the only change I’ll make next time will be to cut back on the teriyaki sauce a bit.
Best recipe ever. Well worth it, no reason to change a thing!
wow! I made this and everyone loves it. great flavor. definitely saving this one and doing it again.
Great flavor, but not perfect… Here’s what I learned for next time: 1. We marinated for 24 hours, provided excellent flavor to the meat 2. Used skirt steak, worked well 3. Some of my slices were too thin– turned out crispy and had to throw out 4. Would go for 1/3-1/2″ slices, they turned out meatier and excellent 5. The recipe states to wipe off the marinade- we didn’t do this, some of our pieces had a glaze on the meat that burned, I would recommend doing this for sure 6. Would go low on the smoker heat, 175ish. We smoked at 200 for 4 hours and they were done. Next time will do 175 for longer. 7. Used Applewood which was great
This was the first thing I made in my electric smoker and it was AMAZING! I sliced the meat a little too thick (rookie mistake), but it still didn’t last more than 2 hours with just me eating it and I’m not even a big guy. It’s not as sweet as you might think, it has just the right blend of flavors. The steak sauce is key! I used A1 and hickory wood chips, smoked at 160 degrees. I will never buy beef jerky again and am going to be making this again this weekend, I am even going to make twice the amount. This is an amazing recipe!
If you like a sweeter jerky, you might like this. I prefer a more “store-bought” jerky taste.
This jerky recipe is by far the best I have ever made!
yes 5* beef jerky!!!…i followed the ingreds as stated and marinated sliced sirloin steak for about 30 hours…smoked it for about 5-6 hours…i had to use maple chips coz that is all i had for now…PERFECT…dh really liked it!!! will forsure make it again…thanks for sharing this recipe…
I tried this and loved it. Actually what caught my eye, was the fact that you are from Cresent City Ca. I was born in Arcats and lived in Cresent city when I was younger. Went to Pine Grove and St. Josephs. That made me try your recipie! Celeste
Awesome Jerky Marinade! The flavors meld well together. Its a little sweet, a little smokey, and a little spicy. We are very discriminating and this is our family’s favorite. We marinate london broil overnight and put in food dehydrator the following day.
I TRIED THIS RECIPE WITH MY BIG CHIEF SMOKER AND WOW!!! IT WAS GREAT! I USED SOME APPLEWOOD FOR THE CHIPS AND THAT JUST DID IT. THANKS
