Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 flank steak, trimmed of extra fat
  • 1 cup coffee concentrate or espresso
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire
  • 1/2 soy sauce or tamari (gluten free)
  • 1/4 brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Slice beef thinly against the grain.
  2. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl or resealable bag.
  3. Add beef to marinade and put into the fridge overnight.
  4. Heat smoker to Smoke setting (165°F-180°F).
