In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and liquid smoke. Stir to mix well. Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) and line two baking sheets with foil. Place a wire rack on each sheet. Lay the beef strips in a single layer across the wire racks, leaving space between each piece.
