Pastrami

Postby egghead » Tue Mar 21, 2017 6:01 am

Can't let extra rye bread go to waste so may as well make some pastrami :). Soaked a store bought corned beef overnight changing water three times, rubbed then on to the SBGE at 5:30 yesterday morning with pecan for smoke, wrapped in two layers of HD foil when it hit 160, pulled at 200 at 8:30, double wrapped in towels and into a cooler for a couple hours. Dang this is good.

Where'd you get the hunk o' meat from? I nearly picked one up yesterday from Tom Thumb but I wasn't sure where or how to smoke one. Looks pretty straight forward to me based on this thread and some other research I did this morning. At the store they sell flat and point separated. What did you go with? Anyone else prefer one cut to the other for pastrami?

I picked it up at our local grocery store - HEB. It is real simple. The one I picked was Paddy's. I had a bit of the point and flat which I separated after smoking and removed some more fat.

I picked up the leanest corned beef I could find
Be sure to rinse and soak well or it will be too salty
I mixed my own rub for this one heavy on the black pepper

Google "Playing with fire and smoke" and check out Rod's process for pastrami

Rod is a nice guy with good info. Of course he's nice, he lives in Casper, WY but he's from Silsbee, TX. :D
