A savoury flavour bomb from Tuffy Stone

The Big Umami is the all-purpose seasoning from Tuffy Stone, the pitmaster behind the Cool Smoke competition team — his label carries the "6X World Barbecue Grand Champion" banner. Cool Smoke calls it a "Big Umami Flavor Bomb" and pitches it at pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, seafood, fries, soups and burgers, whether they're smoked, grilled, roasted, sautéed, braised or stewed.

The flavour

Savoury, not spicy. Salt and dehydrated garlic lead, then the umami boosters on the label — MSG, disodium inosinate and guanylate, and a beef-type flavour made from yeast extract — fill out a deep, meaty roundness. The nutrition panel shows 0g added sugars per serve, so it seasons without sweetening.

How to cook with it

  • Season burger patties on both sides just before they hit the grill.
  • Use it as a base layer on brisket, pork shoulder or ribs, then follow with your usual rub for colour and sweetness.
  • Toss roast spuds or veg in oil and a light shake before roasting, or dust hot chips straight out of the fryer.
  • Stir a pinch through soups, stews and gravy as a savoury booster — taste first, it's salty.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients (from the brand's label): Salt, dehydrated garlic, spices, monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate and guanylate, beef-type flavour (baker's yeast extract), refined soybean oil and less than 2% calcium silicate added to prevent caking.

Dietary: Contains MSG (621). The brand doesn't publish a gluten-free or other dietary claim for this blend. Always check the physical label for the most accurate ingredient, allergen and nutritional information.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

No sugar, no heat, just a savoury wallop that makes everything taste more like itself. Shake it on smash patties a minute before they hit the plate, stack them with Republic Smash Sauce, and run it as a base coat under Meat Church Holy Cow on your next brisket. Go light, it's salty. Smuggled in from a six-time world champ's cupboard.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Umami Bomb Smash Burgers

Two minutes a side, and the crew goes quiet.

You'll need: 500g beef mince (20% fat); 1 tsp The Big Umami; 4 slices cheddar; 4 soft burger buns; pickles and onion to serve.

Do this:

  1. Roll the mince into four loose balls and get a flat-top or cast-iron pan smoking hot.
  2. Smash each ball thin, then season the top with a light shake of The Big Umami.
  3. Cook 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and lacy, flip, add the cheese and cook another minute until the centre reaches 71°C.
  4. Pile onto toasted buns with pickles and onion.

Why it works: Seasoning after the smash means the salt hits the crust, not the mix, so the patties stay tender.
