- Homemade Tasso in a homemade smoker.
I love to make my own tasso, and use it as a seasoning meat several other dishes. N some areas it is called tasso ham. In this video demonstrate an easy recipe to make your own right at home. You can use any barbecue smoker to make tasso. As long as you can keep low and steady temperatures in it.

Tasso seasoning recipe should make plenty of Tasso at least 4-5 pounds of pork but meat cut into lean strips
Wet cure:
•½ cup Worcestershire sauce
•1Tbs Tabasco Sauce
Dry Cure:
•1oz Morton’s Tender Quick
•1oz table salt
•2oz cayenne pepper
•2oz black pepper
•3½ oz garlic powder
• 1 Tbs of onion powder.
Brush meat with wet cure. Then sprinkle on seasoning cure mix liberally. Place in bag or covered container and refrigerator for two to five days. Turn meat over at least once a day.
Then smoke between 175° -225°F (I like 212°F) for 2½ - 4 hours until the Tasso is about 155° -160° internal temperature.
Big Lew! I made this today on my UDS following your instructions to a tee, and it came out damn delicious. While I’ve never eaten it before, there’s no doubt in my mind that this bacon like, salty, spicy, Smokey meat could make just about anything taste better. I used oak for smoke with regular kingsford briquettes, and held 190-210 for the first 3 hours, and maxed to 225 on the last hour.
I love to cook stuff with Tasso. I’ll be making red beans with some tomorrow. Glad you enjoyed it. You can make it country style ribs too or any other cut of pork but meat., The pork steaks are thin and easy to work with and don’t take too long to smoke or cure.
A few days ago I cut out the coppa muscle to make a capicola. I was thinking what the heck am I going to do with the rest of this pork butt. Brain cells out of nowhere I remembered this video. Cured 5 days and it's on the smoker as I type. Thank you and I wish you a much better 2021 and beyond.
You're Primal Cajun Certified!!!! That looks great, a different method than mine but I'll give it a try. You forgot to mention it's awesome in gumbo too. Take care Brother, Rob.
Wow thank you, Commeaux ça va? Yes if I recall you marinated yours. This simple recipe is inspired by and derived from Chef John Folse's recipe as listed here; www.jfolse.com/recipes/meats/pork31.htm . Thanks man I appreciate you watching.
BTW I mentioned it is good in gumbo at the 0:57 mark. Tasso is also good on pizza.
@@BigLewBBQ I'll tell you another way to use it that I haven't seen anyone do. It was popular in the 70's & 80's, the older people used to dice it and add it to rice before you start cooking it. The rice came out smoky and flavored from all the seasoning. My Dad would make a pot of rice like that and eat it with over easy eggs for breakfast but it was good with any rice and gravy dish. I also like to use it when I cook shrimp or crawfish fettucine. Give those a try and I'm sure you'll like it. Rob
@@PrimalCajun I will. I’ve used it shrimp and grits before. So reckon it would be excellent in shrimp fettuccine.
Looked great Big Lew! Never had tasso, sounds like it would be great in greens,thanks for sharing brother, have a great one, you all stay safe!👍👊
It is very good in greens and cabbage.
Dropped every thing when i got notice , Thanks Big Lew
Well, thank you.
Tasso for the win. Tasso playlist would be great. Good job on the cook Big Lew, Couple hours to make some goodness!
I made the play list. It is in the iCard I will link it in the description too.

Man watching you add all the spices and everything was making my spit glands drool woo that's some spicy goodies that was delicious looking.... me and the kids are actually eating pressure canned pork butt as we speak for breakfast that is so delicious and Tinder it's just undescribable
I need to get a pressure canner.
Wow!! It looks so delicious!! thanks for sharing.
You are welcome.
Fantastic cook!
Take care and hang in there.
Looking so good! I like to use pecan wood too! Some call it pee can but you and I know better lol!
They can keep their pee cans away from my barbecue pits, that is just unsanitary!
@@BigLewBBQ ...lol, oh my :)
Really loved this video and recipe! I don't know Tasso, I will certainly have to give it a shot some time. Thanks for sharing!
It is well worth it.
You have me curious now... I have had this. Now I want to make it. lol Great video!
It isn’t too hard to make.
I’m always seeing recipes that call for Tasso and I have a hard time finding it around here, but pork butts are everywhere. Thanks for this video.
It isn’t very hard to make. The key ingredient is patience while you wait for it to cure 2-5 days in the fridge. I think 3 days is about right.
That actually was pretty easy Big Lew! Never had it but bet it is delicious in some greens as you said! Take care over there bud!
Tasso is excellent in lots of things. I got a pot of red beans & sausage cooking on the stove now with some this Tasso in it. We’re going to have red beans and rice and corn bread for lunch after church today.
looks so good something i have never had, great channel new sub
Never had Tasso, but it looked great Lew.
Thank you Jeff.
That looks delicious mate 👌
Nice video brother 👍 👍👍
Thanks Ryan.
Tasso is really good and easy to make, thanks for the reminder Big Lew! Great flavor for all kinds of things from soups to jambalaya and more. Have a great weekend my friend!
Yes it is. Thanks for watching. I got a bit red beans on the stove now with some of this tasso in it.
I have never tried Tasso Big Lew ! This looks amazing. Tasso and bean soup instead of ham and bean comes to mind for me ! Great video Big Lew !
It is quite good in many soups and stews.
Gonna have to give this a try Lew. Looked mighty fine!
Thank you Russ.
Great video Big Lew, that looks fantastic. I'm gonna give this a try. You might already know this but whenever I make sauces or glazes and contaminate them I boil them to kill anything. That way you don't have to throw it away. Just a little FYI. Have a great day brother.
Boiling is a good idea, but it was only a little Worcestershire and Tabasco
Lookin good Big Lew!
Thank you Tom!!
Another great video i can't wait to get back into bbqn I'll definitely be trying this recipe thank you
Last year I made it on the Old Smokey. That video is in the play list.
Nice recipe Big Lew!
Hey this a new one for me 🤩 had never heard Tasso, guess I will have to check your playlist Lew 👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
This is another recipe that I found. Personally I don’t care for a sweet tasso so I don’t always use sugar. However, this fella does a good job of explaining what Tasso is. thedomesticman.com/2020/02/04/tasso-cajun-smoked-pork/
@@BigLewBBQ really appreciate that Lew. I am not a real fan of sweet so sounds like you have set me up perfect for my taste buds
Hey Lew hope you’re holding up well. Never even heard of Tasso lol. I can see that it would be good in recipes. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
You need to use your Googler machine. Type in the term “Tasso” , “Tasso ham” or “recipes with Tasso” then click images and see all the stuff that you can use tasso in. You could start a Tasso trend in the Pacific North West. Isn’t that where all the cool trends start anyway?
Lol yes it is! I’ve learned a ton from you so far but have a long way to go. I’ll get some fuel in my googler machine and check it out.
Look'n Good in the Cajun Neighborhood my Brother!
Thank you!
Another great video and a new recipe in my bbq note book
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Charley from Pickles Bbq & Rob from bbq pit dog told me to come on over snd check ya out. Glad to join your crew. And God Bless!
Thank you very bunch sir.
I appreciate that a lot.
Looks great definitely gonna try that out.
It is very Gus when used in stuff.
Hey Big Lew, I'm new here, and that Tasso looks delicious! I've never heard of it before so I had to look it up :) And since we love pork in al forms, I'll have to give this a try! You mentioned you don't eat it as a meal so just curious about some of the dishes this goes good in? Thanks for sharing and I hope you are having a Great Weekend!
Use it as a seasoning meat. Greens, cabbage, beans, jambalaya, gumbo, gravies, sauces, dips, stews, etc. You can dice it small and use it as a topping for pizza or baked potatoes. Use it in just about anything that might call for diced ham or bacon bits or pieces. I suppose you could eat it as a snack food like jerky, but it is really salty and spicy.
This seems like the most legit tasso recipe, I ever watched, but I'm not an expert. Hoss your delivery is really polished. Were you in broadcasting of some sorts before CZcams?
Possibly! A long time ago, at a radio station far far away.
Looks great Lou!!
Thank You.
Great video Big Lew! thanks!!
Thank You!!
Looks great. Never tried it but it's on the cooking list now. I love pork butt. I'll check out your other tasso videos.
🔴 *Big Lew! Woooooooo!*
I'm here for it Brother. Please thumbs up with me everyone. Have a blessed weekend.

Are we good Big Lew?
What do you mean Papa? You and I yes of course. Me and my my family with out my late wife, no we are not. I’m learning to manage I suppose.
Quick question , what did you use for the letters to avoid them burning/melting off? Just completed my UDS and wanted to put letters on it. Thanks. Good looking food
High temp grill paint. I painted them on with stencils.
@@BigLewBBQ ok thanks
What language is the name Tasso & where does it come from?
According to this Chef John Folse it comes from Spanish. www.jfolse.com/recipes/meats/pork31.htm
