  • 3 rinse off the roast well under running water, and while wet, deposit into the flour mixture taking care to thoroughly coat both sides of the roast by flipping it over in the flour several times.

John's Cajun Tasso

Total Time: 150 hrs Preparation Time: 144 hrs Cook Time: 6 hrs

Ingredients

  • 8 lbs lamb butt
  • 9 tablespoons morton's tender quick
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 cup black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pepper
  • 1/4 cup spanish bitter-sweet paprika
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 2 tablespoons celery seeds
  • 2 tablespoons mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup ground celery seed
  • 1/4 cup sylvia's secret seasoning (see note)
  • 1/2 cup ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pepper
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons granulated garlic
  • 1/4 cup coarse kosher salt (don't use fine ground table salt with iodine in it)
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, crushed

Recipe

  • 1 first, make "1st dry rub" mix by combining all the dry ingredients together in a bowl making sure to break up brown sugar lumps (9tb tender quick, 1/2c brown sugar, 1/4c cayenne, 1/3c black pepper, 1/4c pepper, 1/4c paprika, 3tb onion pwdr, 1/4c granulated garlic, 2tb celery seed, 2tb mustard powder, 2tb cinnamon). once that's done, make "wet cure mix" by combining 3 or 4 tbsp of dry rub mix with 1 cup cold water in separate small container with a lid. cover and shake well to dissolve all dry rub mix in the water. this liquid will be the wet cure that is injected. set wet cure and remaining dry rub mix aside for now.
  • 2 cut up the meat into roughly 1 pound chunks. this will make it easier to inject the wet cure. after that, slice the meat into roughly 1 or 2 inch wide slices. inject each piece with the wet-cure (as much as it can hold -- about a syringe-full each). after injection, slice up the chunks and set them into pans.
  • 3 now liberally rub all sides of meat with remaining dry rub, make sure they are coated well. then place meat in two, one-gallon ziploc bags along with the left over dry rub mix. put both bags into a 9x13 roasting pan and into the fridge.
  • 4 now wait for the butt to cure into tasso. during the next 5 days massage and turn them over every 12 hours. then we will rinse and smoke our tasso.
  • 5 o.k, it's day 5 and we are ready to smoke. but first we have a couple of steps. we need to make a new, final dry rub (1/4c celery seed, 1/4c sylvias secret seasoning, 1/2c black pepper, 1/4c pepper, 1/2c brown sugar, 3tb cayenne, 3tb granulated garlic, 1/4c coarse kosher salt). if you are unable to find sylvia's secret seasoning, here is the recipe: 1 tablespoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary crumbled. combine as needed to obtain 1/4 cup. combine all above ingredients and mix well. store in airtight container until ready to use.
  • 6 pull the curing meat out of the refrigerator and open the bag. first up is to rinse the cure-rub off the meat. once all meat is rinsed off, plug the sink and soak them in cold water for 1 hour. during the soaking, change the water 3 times.
  • 7 now it's time for the final rub. dry each piece on a few layers of paper towels, then rub, and then stack onto a single pan. start the charcoal for the smoker. stabilize smoker temp at 225°f the plan is to keep it between 200 degrees and 225 fahrenheit during the smoke. we want to cook it of course, but also want the drying out effect of the lower temp's.
  • 8 after just a bit over 5 hours, the meat should be ready. pull temp's on the pieces, especially the thick ones and call it done once they reach 165 degrees fahrenheit minimum.
  • 9 transfer meat into three pans to cool down to room temperature maybe 30 minutes or so, then vacuum-sealer went to work. got 5 bags of 5 pieces each, so i figure there was about a pound, maybe a few ounces less, per bag. this is plenty for a single recipe dish of whatever it is you want to make.

Hell's Mud Chili

Total Time: 2 hrs Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 lbs london broil beef, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 lb suet, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
  • 1 red onion, peeled and chopped

  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 1/2 cup whiskey
  • 28 ounces peeled crushed tomatoes, see note
  • 1/2-1 lb dried black beans or 1/2-1 lb pinto beans

Recipe

  • 1 tomatoes: ( tomatoes only, no seasonings and definitely not "stewed" tomatoes)
  • 2 soak the beans overnight in water.
  • 3 carefully remove stem and seeds from chipotles. do not touch your eyes after doing this! most of the heat is in the seeds and near the stem end so you can control the heat of your chili by including or excluding these. chop as small as possible. don't panic if the air around you feels alive. wear a surgical mask if your nose burns. place in a small bowl with 1/2 cup whiskey for twenty minutes or until soft.
  • 4 in a cast iron pot sauté onions, scallions, and 1/2 of the garlic in the olive oil when translucent remove 1/2 and continue cooking the rest until golden brown. remove remainder and reserve together. sauté the suet and steak together in small batches until all are browned.
  • 5 add onions and all seasonings including reconstituted chipotles. continue to cook over low heat for ten or fifteen minutes.
  • 6 add tomatoes, beans, remaining garlic, and wine and cook approximately 1 hour. watch out, there is a small window of time when the meat is perfectly tender and moist and when it becomes dry and fibrous.
  • 7 notes from the creator:.
  • 8 i usually add a small amount of wine to the chili just before serving to brace it up a bit.
  • 9 when i serve this to guests i make a fairly mild version and serve a batch of reconstituted chipotles with chopped up garlic as a condiment so my guests can control their own heat.
  • 10 also chunks of extra sharp cheddar and really good crusty bread are essential.
  • 11 note servings vary depending on what type of chili fan you are, who you are serving, and what you are serving with it. i know it serves four very hungry chili fans at least.
