Pastrami
« on: August 02, 2015, 10:31:22 AM »
Up for tonight is the pastrami for pastrami burgers.  My first step is to run the whole spices that come with a corned beef through the spice coffee grinder for one of my layers of rub.



Then apply a mustard rub and the rest of the seasonings.



It is a 2 meat day so this is in the smoke right now with a pork shoulder.

Hey Dave I like your idea of the catch pan under the meat... Will you also just slice the Pastrami like a deli meat?

Bill, tonight I am grilling burgers and topping with copious amounts of thinly sliced pastrami and cheese. Then I'm going to enjoy Reuben sandwiches and breakfast hash.

Very nice Dave.

I bet these will make great Reuben sandwiches.

The one question I have, can you freeze leftovers?

Greg, I don't see why freezing would be any problem at all.  However, at 3 to 4 lbs, there really isn't much for leftovers.

Dave, looks great!  Cool idea to grind the spices that come with it.  How did you prepare the pre-packaged corned beef?  Did you soak it in water?  The only time I did one of these, I didn't, and it was so salty you couldn't even think about eating it!

Tony, when buying the corned beef, I only buy it in "round" now.  I find it much better than flats.  And I do soak in cold water overnight.

Dave, I've never seen "in the round" corned beef - just flats or points.  Where do you get that?
