Eye of Round Pastrami

[bonehead]

I've taken to making pastrami from eye of round instead of brisket. It's a lot leaner and slices up pretty nice. I've been using RandyQ's recipe and it's REALLY good. These pics are from the 3rd batch I did a few weeks ago, smoked with a combo of oak and cherry. I have friends and relatives offereing to buy it off of me now :biggrin: :biggrin:

I'd like two on Rye with mustard and a side of slaw and pickle.

I rush to open the door.:-D

The wife thinks that I should attempt this next. Thanks for the pics. It looks great.

Funny that you should post this, Bonehead. I went to by a corned beef the other day (not enough time to make my own) and the store had the normal corned point or flat, but they also had a corned round (it didxn't say if it was top or bottom round). It was very good.

Your looks great. I'll have to try that soon!

The first time I tried this was with a store bought corned beef. It kicked a$$, but it was pretty salty and still kinda tasted like corned beef. I had bought a whole eye of round a while ago 'cause it was a good deal and just stuck it in the freezer until I figured out what to do with it. After I got turned onto the pastrami I thought it might work and boy did it ever, so that's what I've been working with since. I like it almost as much as pulled pork, and that's saying something.
