Mix all ingredients except for steak and place into a gallon size Ziploc bag. Trim any fat from the flank steak and fold back into thirds. Cut 1/4” thick slices with the grain and place strips of meat into bag with soy sauce mixture and place in a bowl and leave in the refrigerator over night but not more than 24 hours.
When ready to smoke, start smoker and set to 160–170. Lay out jerky with 1/2” between each piece and smoke for 4.5-5 hours. Remove from smoker and enjoy warm or let cool.
