Made my second pastrami of the week- this time I took the time to take some pics. Soaked in water for about three hours with several changes- slathered in mustard and coated with the seasoning- on the WSM for about seven hous- pulled at 175deg, foiled and toweled for about an hour and a half- sliced and ate. Plenty left for lunch tomorrow.

I havent tried a pastrami yet. I thought that you had to soak for a couple of days to remove the salt from them. Was your pastrami salty?
Thanks,

Not too salty- I thought it was good and the wife loved it.

That's the best looking pastrami I've seen here. Islip, huh. I grew up in Brightwaters and had my first pastrami sandwich at Delsen's on Main St. Long gone, I'm sure.

Yes, definately some good looking Pastramit you got there! :clap2:

I did my first Pastrami last Saturday from a 4 lb Groebels Corned Beef Brisket. Soaked for about 30 hrs and rub applied over night in the fridge and then about 7 1/2 hrs in my "Portable" UDS, rested a couple hours and had a couple friends over for dinner. Turned out fantastic! Doing a couple more this weekend since the last one didn't last until monday for any lunch leftovers to take to work.

That looks great, I tried a pastrami yesterday. I bought a Boar's Head corned beef, a small one, soaked it overnight with some changes of water and smoked it yesterday. It had practically no fat on it and it came super dry. Very disappointing.

First off ...I like the idea of adding Fennel and Cumin to the recipe! I have not use those but will certianly in the future and would love to know the ratio?

Second.. that pastrami looks insane good!

Third, maybe someone can elaborate (thirdeye...you out there?) Is there a distictive difference between using a store bought "Corned Beef" to make your pastrami or using a regular brisket and "dry curing" before smoking?
If it saves you 3 days and is just as good then all the better.

The ratio is pretty much one to one on everything except the cumin ( a little less on that). The corriander and the fennel I crushed with a rolling pin. I didn't really measure- guess I should start.:icon_blush:

Very very nice. Ours Corned Beef & Cabbage turned out Awesome as well. I slow boiled it for 2.5 hours, then made is sit in mustard, jalapeno, garlic, peppercorn sauce for 2 hours then on hot smoky grill for a fast 15-20 minutes with a couple minutes without lid to get the flames on - very hot. We will be doing this for sure again next year I can’t tell you how great this was. I Highly recommend it.

You nailed it Mike. BTW, I don't do a lot of measuring either most times. Just kinda eyeball it and go by instinct. Makes writing a recipe total heck though.:redface:
