Directions

  1. Place meat in the freezer for 1-2 hours to make slicing easier.
  2. Combine together remaining ingredients for marinade and set aside.
  3. Remove the meat from the freezer and trim the fat from the outside.

  6. Add sliced beef to the marinade.
  7. Marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours (overnight or 24 hours is even better).
  8. Drain excess marinade off the strips of meat and pat dry.
  9. Lay the strips across mesh trays or hang in smoker.
  10. Dry in Smoker at 100-130°F (38-54°C) with no smoke to dry the surface of the meat (approximately one hour, turn over half way through the drying process if jerky is on trays, and not hanging).
  11. Start smoking and raise the temperature to 160°F (71°C) and smoke for 2-4 hours using Mesquite Flavour Bisquettes, depending on the size of the strips.
  12. Rotate the jerky strips if necessary throughout the smoking process to ensure they dry evenly.
  13. Jerky is ready when a few muscle fibers fray when bent. If you want your jerky to last longer then smoke until it snaps when bent.

Smoked Teriyaki Beef Bites with Wasabi Mayo

The perfect appetizer dish.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds beef roast (sirloin, chuck, etc)
  • 3 Tblsp Oil
  • 1 cup Teriyaki Marinade (available most supermarkets)
  • 3 Tblsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp dried Chili Flakes
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Wasabi Powder
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Trim the beef roast of most fat and any membrane. Cut into 1/2 – 1 inch cubes
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, teriyaki marinade, soy sauce, chili flakes and honey. Dump the cubed beef in the bowl and toss so that the beef is fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 8 hours. If possible, stir the beef a couple times during the marinating process.
    3. Place the beef on smoker racks. If the beef is falling through use the jerky racks or magic mats.
    4. Set the Bradley Smoker to 225°F (105°C) using wood bisquettes of choice (mesquite, oak, hickory and pecan work great).
    5. Smoke the beef for 2 – 3 hours. The outside of the beef should develop a glaze as the marinade starts to caramelize.
    6. Make the wasabi mayo by mixing together the wasabi powder and the lemon juice. Whisk into the mayonnaise until combined and smooth.
    7. Serve the beef with the wasabi mayo.
