Slice the lean round roast against the grain into about 1/4 inch thick slices.

If needed, take the meat to a grocery store butcher to have it sliced.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of sugar, 4 tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 teaspoons of liquid smoke, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds.

Mix the marinade well using a whisk.

Place the sliced beef into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring all pieces are coated.

Remove excess air from the bag and seal it, then refrigerate overnight.

After marinating, remove the beef from the bag and lay the slices flat in the dehydrator.

Set the dehydrator to 142°F and dehydrate for about 5 hours, checking for doneness after that time.
