Walked in to Costco Business a couple weeks back and saw Morton's black Angus corned brisket flats on clearance :clap2:

Briskets up the ying yang too. Choice, Prime you name it. Tempting but I have to room plus I have some Creesktones in the freezer still

Anyway I soaked a day or two before and put in on the 26

Thanks for looking!

Only asking because I don't know, why the soaking?

[Joshw]

Wish I had your kind of trouble Brother. At least I have some of my own dank and sticky.:laugh:

[ssv3]

To draw out some of the salt. Too salty when smoking out of the package since it's corned beef (same cure for pastrami). Change the water a few times too. 1-2 days depending what you like.

Dude! You're on fire lately.

Thanks! Finally home for the whole Memorial weekend. Don't usually get any holidays off during the year so I'm pushing through. :biggrin1:

[ssv3]

:laugh::laugh:

Suppose it's a good problem to have but I tend to grab a bunch of things and not being able to smoke/cook them for a while.

Dank and sticky in liquid form for me but I hear ya Josh. :mrgreen: :thumb:

[ShadowDriver]

Whoa!

$1.99/lb! Get outta town! I'd have a non-stop pastrami makin' enterprise at that price point.

The pastrami looks good, Sako... but with those rolls... I'd fight someone for one of those sammiches.

Keep crushing it, brother.

Thanks brother! Yea no complaints at 1.99 for angus flats and literally no waste. Just soak and toss on the smoker. I vac packed the other two. One will go to my bro and one for me to use later.

[Stingerhook]

That looks so FINE Sako!!!!!!!!!!

The liquid has too many carbs. :mrgreen:

You're talking to a single guy, with 2 deep freezes. I know the problem. Been doing my best to cook from them, instead of buying new. It's just so hard to pass up a bargain.

[ncmoose]

Man, that looks good! I haven't done pastrami for a while. I'll have to get on it.

[ssv3]

Thanks Marty!

True, true.

Lol guess we have the same problems. :becky:

Thanks! Man, yes!

[Joshw]

Thanks Marty!

But just think of how much more variety I could have, if I had a Costco Business.

[Bacchus2b]

Sako - Looking great as always!!! I've been very envious from your posts showing all the cool things you can buy at your business center, and Costco recently announced that the first Business Center in Texas will open in a former Sam's Club on the North side of Dallas, and I can't wait!

Thanks Bacchus! You're in for a treat. They have a lot of cool stuff that's unavailable at the regular clubs like, duck, lamb, goat, pigs, whole or butchered, whole turkey breasts, tons of brisket, short ribs, pork belly skin on or off, ribs with brisket bone off or STL, or half racks, riblets, butts for $1/lb....List goes on. It's a Q'ers paradise.

[Joshw]

You've got to get some of that skin on belly. It's better than bacon.

Oh yeah! I grabbed one but made skin on bacon. Next time around I know what I'm going to do. :thumb:

Good deal, it looks great!

[ssv3]

Thanks! It's cheat pastrami. Quick, simple and crazy delicious.

[EyeBurnEverything]

That looks delicious minus the yellow mustard. Pastrami must have spicy brown deli mustard or other varietys of brown mustard.

I hear you Candice but a few diners here serve it with plain yellow mustard. I love the combo even though I do love deli mustard, stone ground mustard, brown mustard.....even hot Ruski mustard.

[cowgirl]

Great price on those corned briskets! Sandwich looks danged fine Neighbor! :grin:

I'm with you. I'll take mustard in any form. I normally go spicy brown though. If you want something really special go with some Mustard Seed Caviar.https://barbecuebible.com/recipe/mustard-seed-caviar/

One of my favorites which i am not sure if its a local region brand or not is Polana. They sell really good mustard. One of my favorites was the spicy brown beer mustard. They also sell a horseradish brown mustard but i cant seem to find it anymore.

Edit: The Horseradish spicy brown mustard was Pilsudski, but that Spicy brown beer mustard is just as good. Great on Cabot habanero cheddar cheese.
This is the stuff thats great on Pastrami:

[ssv3]

I love any style mustard. Gotta scoops some up. Thanks for the heads up. Never seen it around here.

[ssv3]

I got four jars of the Pilsudski coming my way. Can't wait to try on pastrami.

[ssv3]

Thanks Neighbor!

I usually get points for $2/lb so this was a great price on them.

[EyeBurnEverything]

Its good stuff. You wont be dissapointed. You might want to kick it up a notch with some extra grated (in the refridgerated section) Horseradish to add that extra kick, and fresh taste. For the Pilsudski, i like to add a 1/4 tsp to 1 tsp of Pilsudski. Its a addicting, you might not beable to stop.

Looking forward. I can get my hands on prepared horseradish fairly easy.

Great job there Sako, my kind of sammy.

[LordRiffenstein]

I just had a nice lunch with some lephtover ribs and m&c and here I'm drooling behind my laptop. Damn that looks amazing!

[Smoke Dawg]

Nice work neighbor. I am jealous I can't cook on the road and trying to empty the freezers when home. Usually grab several corned beef just after St. Paddy's when they are crazy sale price for pastrami. I did one but wanted t make several. $1.49 for SRF was hard to walk away from.

Followed Shadowdrivers lead and used thirdeye's recipe. Good stuff.

[DanB]

Hi "Briskets up the ying yang too. Choice, Prime you name it. Tempting but I have to room plus I have some Creesktones in the freezer still"

By any chance did you see any Wagyu briskets at the Costco Business Center?
I know they have Wagyu briskets in Texas. I'm trying to get Wagyu briskets in North Jersey's Costco's Business Center.
Thx DanB

[Big George's BBQ]

Sako that looks "insanely" awesome Love that stuff

[Texmex01]

I have been wanting to try Pastrami from scratch, but I am now leaning towards using the pre-marinated Beef....:becky:

[Zerikin]

Yummy. This reminds me that I've been wanting to try doing pastrami.

[DerHusker]

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
:hail: :hail:

[campdude]

Another fantastic looking post Sako. I didn't stock up after St. Patty's Day this year because the supermarket sale prices weren't that good. Now you have me wishing I did. Now no room in the freezer. Full of racks of spares I got at .99c # a few weeks back. Not a bad problem to have!

[ssv3]

Can't beat it. Pastrami in a pinch.

Thanks Marty! Absolutely agree. Supermarkets charge a premium for flats, at least around me so this was a score. I don't care for points when it comes to pastrami.
