Default Smoking Corned Beef into Pastrami

Smoking Corned Beef into Pastrami

Take one 4-lb corned beef brisket (got mine from Walmart).
Soak in cold water about 12-hours, changing water several times to leach out excess salt.

Coat well with your favorite rub (go easy on the salt). Massage well into the meat.

Smoke at 225F-275F with hickory until internal corned beef brisket temperature reaches 190F. Mine took about 7 hours in my WSM.

Remove from heat and wrap in foil. Let rest 1-hour.

Slice into thin pieces and enjoy the Pastrami.

This is the second time I've made this. It won't be the last.

Try it from scratch Bro...you will really dig it!

Parted packer, most of the fat removed.




Rubbed with salt, pepper, corriander and 1 tsp. of TQ/lb of meat. Covered with water and submurged with bricks, turned every 3 days.



Wet cured for 7 days, I then cut flat in two, relized it was not completly cured. Do not know if you can see the dead center, slightly different color. Put back in wet cure for 3 more days.



Cold smoke at 95* for 12 hours.



Then cook till 195* internal.



Final product...I had a couple of my friends say it was better than Cantors and Jerry's deli's here in the LA area, I have never had a sandwich from either, but I am assuming it was a compilment!

Nice pictorial, Bentley! Thanks! I've corned my own briskets several times and they are much better than store bought, whether you pastramize them or not (pastramize? i think I made that up).

BUT... One question...

What's up with the white bread?

I'm with Bossman on the sourdough!
The commercial corned beef flats I've done in my various cookers have not had a smoke ring, is that due to the brining/curing process? Not that it matters, I'm just curious?
