First Pastrami Brisket

[ssv3]

Regular briskets were getting boring so decided to switch things up a little

Black Canyon choice brisket. These are better than the Costco primes I get. BTW I do get this from Costco also

Trimmed

Made the brine

About 8 days later on the Yoder it went. Only seasoned it with black pepper. Didn't have coarse on hand so I went with fine grind

7 hours of cook time at 300* then rested in the cambro 3 hours

Great color, tender and very moist

First tiny pieces from the flat :thumb:

And of course combo

And the point

All in all I'm very satisfied with color, texture, tenderness and flavor. Just a tad bit salty so I will soak in water after brining a little bit longer next time. Thanks for looking!

That pastrami looks fantastic!
Few things are better than a hot pastrami on rye with mustard. Enjoy!

We do this all the time. Use the barky scraps and fatty bits to make a hash!

Perfectly awesome. I have done the presoaked corn beef on the smoker but need to do my own brine for sure

Thanks Mike!

The pickling spice mix I bought didn't have any but I did add juniper berries.

Looking good! This is on my to do list for sure

That looks amazing.
If you find it to salty, just lower the salt content in your brine. Or you can add some sugar to it to balance things.
I needed a few tries to nail the brine.
