Description

This Hot Honey Garlic Beef Jerky recipe combines the rich, savory flavors of soy sauce and black garlic with a sweet-spicy kick from honey and hot sauce. Perfectly marinated and slow-smoked on a charcoal grill, this homemade beef jerky is tender, flavorful, and ideal for snacking.

Ingredients

Beef

  • 3 lbs Beef Round (trimmed of silver skin and fat)

Marinade

  • 1 cup Soy Sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp BLK Hot Sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp Big Bad BBQ Ale Rub
  • 1.5 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1.25 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Black Garlic Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, hot sauce, BBQ rub, brown sugar, honey, black garlic sauce, and sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly to create a consistent marinade and set aside.
  2. Slice the beef: Cut the beef round in half lengthwise, then slice thinly to create jerky strips. Use a mallet to flatten each piece for even thickness.
  3. Marinate the beef: Place the flattened beef strips into a food-safe bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the beef and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to penetrate.
  4. Preheat the grill: Set up your Oklahoma Joe’s Judge Charcoal grill for indirect cooking at 175°F, preparing it as a smoker.
  5. Arrange the beef on a mesh tray: Remove the beef from the marinade and lay the strips evenly across a mesh tray, allowing air circulation for proper smoking.
  6. Smoke the beef: Place the tray in the smoker and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the jerky is firm and does not bend when lifted.
  7. Glaze with honey: About 10 minutes before the jerky is done, brush additional honey over the strips and continue smoking to add a sweet glaze.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the jerky once done and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the beef overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  • Maintain consistent smoker temperature to ensure even cooking of the jerky.
  • You can substitute the BBQ rub or hot sauce to adjust spice levels according to preference.
  • Store jerky in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
