There was a brisket sale local to me the week prior to July 4th weekend. 1.97/lb. I dug through at least 100 packers to find a prime in the mix and it was a 17 lb beauty. Separated point and flat and cured the flat for some good ol' pastrami. 9 days cure time and then smoke/steam. Enjoy!
Half the flat (but still near 8 lbs) cured and peppered, ready for smoke now.
Here she is after smoke and about to get steamed!
And now rested and sliced and ready for sammies!
This was my first pastrami with my current wife and she loved it! So much that I now have to make this on the regular.. I've created a monster!!
Prime pastrami!

Re: Prime pastrami!
Thanks! My only kick in the butt on this was the pepper. I had the grinder set on too coarse a grind. Next one will be a bit finer grind on the pepper.

Re: Prime pastrami!
Thanks for the comments all! There's only a few pieces left after several days of snacking and sandwiches. I'll have to make another one soon.

Re: Prime pastrami!
Suitable for framing. God, I love pastrami. Not sure what you do to cure for 9 days. Fairly new to all of this. ...but I would love to try making some pastrami. Do you steam in a pot with a tray above the waterline?

I wet cured it. For steam, I filled a pan with water and put in my rib rack which fits just right to keep the roast off the top of the water.
