Ingredients

3 pounds rump roast
3 cups soy sauce
3 cups packed brown sugar
4 fluid ounces hickory-flavored liquid smoke

Instructions

Thinly slice the roast into ¼-inch thick slabs. Trim any excess fat. Cut the slabs into strips about ¼-inch wide and 4 inches long, resembling pencils.
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and hickory liquid smoke. Add the meat strips and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Remove the marinated meat and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Arrange the meat strips in a food dehydrator for 12 to 20 hours, depending on your desired dryness. Rotate the trays after 6 hours for even drying.
