Ingredients
- 2 lbs of meat (beef, goat, pork, or chicken), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped scallions, chopped parsley, chopped bell pepper, and chopped thyme leaves. Add the vinegar, and mix well.
- Add the cubed meat to the bowl, and toss to coat with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator, and drain off any excess marinade. Coat the meat evenly with the spice mixture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the meat on all sides until browned and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once all the meat has been cooked, remove it from the skillet or grill pan and place it on a serving platter. Serve the Tasso with your choice of side dishes, such as rice and beans, fried plantains, or pikliz.
