5 lbs of pork butt or thick chops cut into 2 inch x 2 inch strips to whatever length the cut will produce
1 T salt
1 T sugar
5 T fresh black pepper
2 T red pepper
3 T garlic powder
1 T chili powder
2 T onion powder
2 T paprika
1 T gumbo file
Mix all seasonings. Then rub the pork generously on all surfaces, refrigerating (covered) for 2 to 3 days. Crank the smoker and smoke 4 or so hours at 200 + until done at 160 degrees, or so.
Got a batch going now.
And here it is:
Dark due to a bunch of pecan smoke. Lots of peppery bite. I like it very much. Can't wait to use it.

It's mostly Prudhomme mix, and the file is from his recipe. He had white pepper...I detest white pepper and added more black. He also had some cumin. When I made the mix, I was out so I subbed in some chili powder. It tasted good...hope the Tasso does too. Smoking on pecan.

So I just test tasted a smaller piece of the Tasso. Damn it's good. I'm not buying tasso any time soon. Too easy to make as good or better than you can buy.
