Cured 2 tri-tips, rack of short ribs and a brisket point for 12 days - then soaked in clean water for about 8 hours to desalinate





Used a little pickle juice and then went on with heavy pepper and a pastrami rub





They have been on for about 2 hours - plan is to take then to 170 - wrap in foil with some red ale, then take them to probe tender

 
Love all those cuts. Next time try adding some cured beef cheeks. Since I tried beef cheeks at Leroy and Lewis, they became a little of my obsession. Pastrami cheeks were great. The cheeks used to be cheap, but like everything today not so much.

Will give those a try next time - thank you !
 
Looking good 👍. I recently corned a tri-tip for pastrami too. They are about the perfect size.

Made my version of the “Rachael” with some of the left over pastrami -

Swiss cheese, cole slaw and homemade pastrami - on sour dough bread

 
I have always used Meatheads cure recipe/calculator

https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/beef-and-bison-recipes/home-made-corned-beef-recipe/

For rub, I used 16 mesh pepper and a commercial pastrami rub - the cure has so much salt in it I try to avoid any salt in my rubs for pastrami

Meathead also has a pastrami rub on his website
