Birth of a Pastrami Burger
« on: March 21, 2015, 09:13:15 PM »
So, I started the day early, smoking a corned beef round to use as the base to my smoked pastrami burgers.





And first time smoking a hamburger.  I smoked at 220 degrees for approx. 45 minutes and then reverse seared on the grill.



Caramelized some onions and mushrooms for a topping.



Now for the layering!

Pastrami:



Smoky Provolone cheese:



And the big finish with the onions & shrooms:

Hey Dave, that looks good.

It melted in my mouth like all the rest of it.  I took it to 201, and it was tender yet remained sliceable.

Looks incredibly good Dave. I assumed you corned the beef. How do you compare the round to the brisket in taste and tenderness?
