Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 sirloin tip roasts (each about 1 pound, cut into 1/4-inch strips)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp molasses
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups Coca-Cola
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt
  • Wood chips (soaked in water)

Instruction

  • Slice roasts into 1/4" strips. (Freezing the roasts for about 30 minutes before slicing will make this easier.)
  • In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, kosher salt, brown sugar, molasses, hot sauce, and onion powder. Heat over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat and stir. Cool to room temperature and add 1 can of Coca-Cola.
  • Place strips of meat into glass casserole dish and pour marinade over each layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. (If meat is not entirely covered with marinade, then turn meat at least once.)
  • Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
  • Preheat smoker to 180F degrees. Fill water pan with remaining can of Coca-Cola, 1/2 cup water, and 2 Tbsp minced garlic. Sprinkle meat strips generously with Jane's Krazy salt and place meat directly on middle and top racks of smoker. Do not let strips touch.
  • Smoke for 3.5 hours, adding soaked wood chips as necessary. Check for doneness: meat should be a dark color inside and out.
  • Let cool. Store in a resealable bag in refrigerator or freeze up to 3 months.
