Cajun-Style Tasso (Pork Shoulder) Barbecue Recipe

 

"Tasso is a spiced Cajun-style ham."

  • 1 (8 pound) boneless pork shoulder
  • 5 tablespoons ground cayenne
  • 3 tablespoons white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
 

METHOD

Trim the pork of excess fat and cut into 1 inch thick by 4-inch long strips. Combine the seasoning ingredients and place in a shallow pan. Roll each pork strip in the seasoning and place on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or up to 2 days.

Smoke the pork strips over pecan wood in a covered grill or smoker for 5 - 7 hours, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Cool completely and refrigerate.

In Mastering Barbecue, Stines tell us that pecan wood is nutty and sweet with a mild aftertaste.
