4 or 5 lb. eye of round beef roast

JERKY MARINADE:

1 cup soy sauce
4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. liquid smoke
3 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tbsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 cherry pepper, seeded and diced (with juice)
6 to 8 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 oz. Crown Royal (or your favorite Whiskey)

Partially freeze roast for 2 to 3 hours for easy slicing.

Trim fat and slice roast into 1/8-inch slices with the grain of the meat.

Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place meat in Ziploc style gallon sized storage bag and pour marinade over the meat. Marinade in refrigerator overnight.

Remove meat and let excess liquid drain off.
