1. Using a meat slicer or sharp knife, cut beef into thin sheets and strips approximately 1/4-inch in thickness. Generally, cutting with the grain of the meat creates chewier pieces, while cutting against the grain produces a more crumbly jerky that is easy to bite into. Choose one direction or another based on desired results, or try a combination of both to see what you prefer! Remove and discard any fat, silverskin (fascia), or other connective tissue from the meat. Place the trimmed beef in a large zipper-lock bag.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade. For a more traditional beef jerky flavor, combine coconut aminos (or soy sauce/liquid aminos!), garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. For a spicy marinade, combine coconut aminos with Thai garlic chili sauce and sriracha. Pour the mixture into the bag and distribute the marinade throughout the meat by massaging from outside of the bag. Seal the zipper-lock and place the beef in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of three hours.
3. Remove the slices of beef from the marinade and pat the meat dry with paper towels once you're ready to cook. Liberally season with salt and sprinkle optional toppings if you prefer. Add pepper for peppered jerky or sprinkle red chili flakes to pair with the spicy jerky marinade. Get creative!
4. Prep your smoker or fire up your Traeger grill to smoke. Once the grill/smoker is ready, lay the beef out in a single layer directly on the grill or on removable smoker racks. Close the smoker lid once the meat is arranged and smoke until the beef jerky is dry yet flexible when bent, about 4 to 5 hours.

1. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Unfold the steak and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the beef crosswise, against the grain (so that you sever the tough, thin fibers that you can see on the steak) into 2-inch-wide strips.
3. You want the strips to be around 1/8-inch thick, so if they are thicker, slice each strip lengthwise into two thinner, 1/8-inch-thick strips. This is easier to do if the meat is partially frozen.*
4. Allow the meat strips to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes so that they fully defrost and become more pliable. Then arrange them in a single layer on a cutting board, cover them with cling wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound them so that they are thinner and more even in thickness.
