Ok Hub thanks for this simple recipe. Going to give this a go as soon as my house fridge is fixed. I got a corned beef sitting out there in the chest freezer.

So as far as the soak can I soak it from a frozen state? Or thaw completely first then follow the water soak?

I've never done one from frozen and I think it would be best to thaw it first.  It'll be salty if it doesn't get a thorough soak.

Sorry for the late reply -- won't hurt but don't worry about it.  Fat is flavor.  I've got one going in pretty soon, too.

Finished one up today using Hub's EZ Recipe. Wow, so much better than corned beef and it was EZ! I followed directions to a tee until the part where you wait 30 MINUTES after cooking so it can rest. I got to about 8 minutes and went for the knife! I'm hooked!  Thank you very much for sharing this Hub!!!!!!

Mine just went in the fridge for the overnighter, going to be a tough night trying to get some sleep while dreaming about this pastrami sitting in the fridge.   :P

Thanks for all the kind words -- I DO love this forum so much  ;D

We had a crowd of twelve over for lunch after church yesterday and I fixed 9 lbs. of good ol' fashioned corned beef with cabbage, onions, potatoes and carrots all boiled up together.  It came out really tasty and nobody went away hungry.  The most fun, though, was the EZ Pastrami -- I did a five pound flat and just put it on a separate plate and told everyone to try it if they wanted to.  It was a huge hit and I think I've got enough left for one sandwich.  A lot of folks don't know how easy it is to make your own -- all you need is your smoker and a little patience  ::)

Well mine just went into the oven @ 250F, 6 1/2 hours from now I'll be sinking my teeth into heaven.  That's if I can stand to look at it for 30 minutes of resting, I might be sampling some sooner.   :P

I have made Pastrami from scratch 3 times. Even after doing a three time soak it tasted to salty to me. The only way I used those was on Pizza. I can get corned beef from the local restaurant supply store at a good price so I am going to try this out.
Booked marked
Thanks
