a little liquid smoke so it gets that smokey flavor. mix into the marinade some sweet chili sauce. it's a little sweet. a little bit of a spice. not a lot. garlic powder and garlic salt and brown sugar. whisk that up. take your flank steak and cut against the grain if you like it less chewy. so against the grain. as thin a slice as possible. if you want a little chewier, you can go the length of it. >> why would you want chewy? >> some people like the chewy jerky. >> jaw workout. >> that's right. so you take this and you'll pour your marinade and put this in the fridge and let it sit for 24 hours. now, take it out onto a nice cookie sheet. you can use a bigger one. pat it dry. now, you take your meat and you put it on a wire rack, all right. for cleanup, i would recommend

of this. >> parchment paper. >> you can do parchment paper as well. a little known secret. put this in the oven. you'll put this in the oven at the lowest possible temperature your oven can go to. low and slow. it's going to be in there for a bunch of hours. >> just hours? >> yeah. leave it in there. until you see that it has a consistency like this. >> this is so good. brisket jerky. >> you've got your just put this in a nice little ziploc. >> mm-hmm. >> put it in the kid's lunch. >> i think -- >> jerky is big. jerky is big right now. >> kale chips. >> i love kale chips. >> all you have to do is cut out the rib. all right. you're going to lay these down on parchment paper or baking sheet. do a bunch. take olive oil. use salt. you can do any seasoning you

barbecue sauce. >> the key is for people, you don't overpack the pan because it steams it. >> put it in the oven at about 325 for 15 to 20 minutes. this comes out. other thing i love, avocado toast. this is a hot thing right now. you can put a little smoked salmon, some veggies. i like to put on a bigger piece a whole fried egg on top. >> hmm. >> that's yummy stuff. and you sprinkle a little parmesan and you're set. also by the way, i want to mention food club member standout. taylor kaiser made energy bars. for the recipe, go to today.com and by the way, the roker burger is so successful, they're going to keep it on sale through the weekend at shake shack. $1 from every roker burger goes to no kid hungry to help beat childhood hunger.
