Instructions

Trim excess fat off the bottom round roast slices.
In a medium bowl, combine the bottom round, chipotle in adobo sauce, brown sugar, garlic salt, and kosher salt. Stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 175°F. Cover a sheet pan with a piece of foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil. Spray the wire rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the slices of bottom round in a single layer on the wire rack. Place in the oven and slow roast for 4½–5 hours, or until the beef is very dry and chewy.
Let cool and serve. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Ask your butcher to cut the bottom round roast for you to save yourself time. If you want to slice it yourself, put it in the freezer for 20 minutes first, then use your sharpest knife to get thin slices.

Store the jerky in a covered dish in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the jerky in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Want it extra spicy? Add some of the seeds from the chipotles in adobo to the marinade.
