EZ Pastrami Smoked and Steamed
« Reply #14 on: September 28, 2016, 03:59:58 PM »
Please excuse the dumb question here but I am not that familiar with either corned beef or pastrami which (at least for me) begs the question:

What is the difference between Corned Beef and Pastrami?  Is it the smoking part or the spices or both?  Or is there more to it than that and how does it change the flavor profiles?

Thanks :)
It is both the smoking and the spices that makes pastrami different.

Man I like them both. A good NY C beef is hard to beat the problem is that there is so much bad corned beef out there,,,,,,,,

Don:  If I could get a good piece of corned beef like yours,  I would try the EZ method again.  However, the last 4 corned beef flats that I bought were so full of fat that there was more fat than meat, and they are charging over $5/#.  I love pastrami so my next try will be to corn my own meat first; just takes a lot longer for the wait.
