I tried pastrami two weeks ago, Okay but not great. This past week, with the St. Patty day sale on conrned beef, I said I am going to do this again. So I looked at the $1.69/lb points, mixed flats and then settled on a $3.69/lb black angus flat. Took it home and the rest is delicious history.
1.) Soaked with cold water and potatoes for 48 hours, changing H20 and taters four times.
2.) Pat dry then rub..See link below for roadmap I used
3.) Put it on at 5:30 PM on Sunday.........To many Schlitz
4.) At 10:00 pm still at 140*...........went to bed, told my wife to wake me in two hours, so I could check my meat.
5.) Alarm goes off at midnight, wife tells me to check my meat. It's only at
160* so back to bed this time with my wireless timer. Ask the wife to wake when it goes off at 180*.
6.) 3:30 am timer goes off, wife says your meat is done. So on with the pants, shoes and outside I go. Check a couple of spots and, yes 182*, but the probe tells me no. I think FARK this, you're done.
7.) Take it inside and of course sample............WOW Way Good. Throw it in the fridge and go to bed. My meat was cold.
8.) Tonight I steamed it to 200* internal and made sammies. Now this is what I'm talking about :shocked::shocked::thumb::thumb::thumb:
