Ingredients
3poundsSirloin steaks or other cut of choice.{Sliced 1/4" thick}
Mix all marinade ingredients into a one-gallon zip-lock bag along with the sliced beef. Seal the bag, making sure to get as much air out of the bag as possible. Put the bag into the refrigerator and let marinate for 6-24 hours before cooking. Remove the bag from the fridge 1 hour prior to cooking.
Start up your Traeger grill and put it on the smoke setting. Lay out your meat on the grill with at least a half inch space between all the pieces. Leave on the grill 4-5 hours turning once after 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
Remove from grill when finished and let cool for thirty minutes to an hour before putting it into the refrigerator for storage. Make sure to get some for yourself before it's all gone.
