Recipe - Jerky - Watersmoker Method

1 One half pound Beef flank steak
One fourth cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Paprika
One fourth cup Noniodized salt
2 teaspoon Garlic powder
2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Ginger

Fire up your smoker and start settling the coals in for a long slow smoke
before starting the rub.

Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and slice it, with the blade of the
knife 30 degrees to the horizontal, across the grain, creating strips 1/4
to One half inch thick.

In a small mixing bowl, blend together the sugar, salt, paprika, garlic
powder, pepper and ginger. Rub this mixture into the meat, putting the
spiced strips on the grill, but don't fill the water pan. Give the jerky 3
to 5 hours of smoke at 130 to 180 degrees F. propping the lid open a crack
if the temperature threatens to rise disastrously beyond the desired range.

When the strips are chewycrisp, remove them from the heat, let cool, and
store individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to store longer than a few
days.
