* use in place of smoker.
Mix all ingredients except beef to make marinade. Cut thinly sliced beefinto 1 cm strips and marinate for 8 to dozen hours.
Smoke using mesquite chips for about three hours and then finish drying in oven. If doing whole operation in oven use liquid smoke and hang strips of beef on highest rack and put shallow pan underneath to catch drippings.
Turn oven on and set to lowest possible setting and leave for 6 to 8 hours until thoroughly dried.
A couple of hints that I picked up from one of the cooking echos. Usetoothpicks or wooden skewers to hang meat by, and put a couple of layers of paper towels in the pan to collect the drippings and save cleaning problems later on.
