Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • 4 tablespoons ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce

  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 pounds sirloin, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices

Directions

  1. Combine soy sauce, black pepper, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a large, nonporous bowl; add sirloin slices and mix well to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Arrange sirloin slices, unstacked, onto wire racks; discard marinade. Place the racks into an outdoor smoker. Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.

  3. Smoke over low heat until edges of sirloin slices appear dry with just a slight hint of moisture in the center, 6 to 8 hours.
