Pastrami is something that you buy at a deli. But we really made pastrami. You need time, and, if you want to smoke it like we did, you need a smoker. And patience. If you have all of those things, and if you like pastrami, this is the recipe for you. We liked slicing it far thinner than the recipe called for.
We made an assortment of different sandwiches with the pastrami. Pastrami on rye with cole slaw and Russian dressing where I grew up, this was called a "Pastrami Special".
The recipe makes quite a lot of pastrami. We're going to seal the rest in packages and freeze them so that the pastrami can be enjoyed in the future. I'm looking forward to it. If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it LeitesCulinaria.
We'd love to see your creations on Instagram , Facebook , and Twitter. If the brisket is partially frozen, how would this affect curing time? Obviously fully defrosted is ideal, but that may not be an option unfortunately.
Update: gave it an extra 12 hours to cure and it turned out great. I could not be more pleased with the results! We smoked the brisket for three hours with hickory wood at degrees just to add a little smoke flavor.
Weighing in at 3. It took 1. Rested the meat for 1 hour. Do you have to use the curing salt? Will the end result be different if I left it out of the brine? Thank you! Dawn, you can substitute another type of salt if you prefer. The flavor of the finished pastrami will be the same.
Curing salt just does a better job of preventing bacteria from developing. There seems to be a fair degree of variation between different recipes and the instructions on the packet I purchased provide the following ratio: for a 4 liter brine and 2kg meat, add 12g of the cure plus 2g for each additional kilogram of meat.
I am writing from Australia and wonder if there are variable standards, however, there seems to be quite a disparity for such a poisonous substance. Thanks so much for this, Nick.

Keep refrigerated overnight or 4 hours minimum to remove the excess salt. I like the corned beef flavorings so use this kind go to Step 3 , but feel free to use a beef brisket of same weight see Step 2.
Otherwise take directly to the steamer. See below instructions. If refrigerated, remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, then steam for 2 hours. I use a bamboo steamer with the meat resting on a bit of aluminum foil See Note 3. In a large pot over medium low heat pour enough water in pot that there is an inch gap between steamer rack and water and steam for 2 hours.
If you don't have a steamer, you could use an Instant Pot. Notes Either use a purchased Corned Beef or a beef brisket. Unless a chili powder is specific, like Ancho Chili Powder, it can be made up of various ingredients. Basic Chili Powder mixes include Ancho, New Mexico, California or any other mild chili pepper, cayenne powder, ground black peppercorns, cumin, coriander and Mexican oregano.
Cover loosely with aluminum foil over night and lay meat on top in steamer. Another steamer method is propping the plate and beef on top of rolled up prices of aluminum foil to raise it up and pour water in pot up to plate and steam. Have you made this recipe?

As Raphael Magarik said in an article for The Forward, " Jews celebrated bar mitzvahs and weddings with deli meats, but pastrami and other meats also inspired carnal, even erotic desires. Smoked meat, salami, corned beef, turkey, and tongue are some of the all stars you often see alongside pastrami at delis around the globe.
Some are worth the hype, and others leave you questioning why your grandfather loves it so much. However, if there's one succulent sandwich meat that's most definitely worth the hype, it is pastrami. Much like corned beef and other flavor-packed deli meats, pastrami was originally invented by eastern Europeans in an effort to preserve meats prior to the advent of refrigeration. Pastrami was brought to America by Jewish immigrants from Bessarabia a historical region residing in parts of present day Moldova, Ukraine, and Romania who immigrated during the latter half of the 19th century.
Prior to immigrating to America, Romanian Jews likely used goose breasts to make their pastrami , as it was inexpensive and complied with the laws of their kosher diet.

Once I applied the rub, it was just a matter of triple-sealing the meat. The number of steps just looks intimidating. Mine came out a nice dark pink. I bought a rectangular shaped corned beef for even slices, which I recommend. My meat was also leaner than the meat in the video. I was able to trim most of the visisble fat. Read More.
