Pastrami

Postby vermin99 » Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:33 pm

Corned beef flat rubbed with black pepper, coriander, and granulated garlic

Done. Took 6.5 hours to reach 165* internal cooking at 240*

Sliced. Soaked the corned beef in water for 2.5 hours the night before applying the rub but still a bit too salty for my taste. Overall it tastes good though.

Sure looks great! I love pastrami, but I've never tried making it myself.

I've tried the commercial Corn-beefs for Pastrami but they don't hold a handle to a brisket that's been home cured then smoked. You can get enough cure #1 for a couple of bucks to do up 100# of meat, over all pretty cheap but time consuming. When I have done them already cured, I soak 'em for a day or two changing water every 6hrs. Seems to help.
