Standard Corned Brisket point cut...



Thoroughly rinsed and into a pot of water for an overnight soak in the fridge...



Tomorrow morning will be a water change out and an additional soak.

Stay tuned.

personal opinion (every taste / flavor profile is different) the double soaking is unnecessary.  I've done no soak, and half day soak.  Keep the water, use it to boil cabbage, carrots, and red potatoes.   Put the pack of corned beef seasoning that you won't be using for the pastrami into the veggie boil, turns out great.

Well I had dumped the water this morning before work and then added more water. When I got home I dumped out the water again and then dried the briskie with a paper towel...



On comes the spice mixture...



Gave it a complete coating...



Got in late tonight. Went into the Memphis set at 225F @ 8PM. Going to set the alarm for 2AM so I can get the briskie out, double foil, and refrigerate...



To be continued....

Why a point instead of a flat? I've done it with flats a few times and it turned out great.

It is what I had in the freezer.

I pulled it out of the Memphis at 2AM, double wrapped with foil, and put it in the refrigerator.

Here is what it looked like at 2AM after 6 hours at 225F...



It will be cooked later today for another 6 hours.

After I pulled the pastrami off I put it in the fridge for slicing later. Since the Memphis was already warmed up thought I would toss on a frozen pizza for dinner. Bumped up the temp to 400F...



And 20 minutes later...

After several hours cooling in the fridge it comes out of the foil...



It sliced like butter. I sliced it across the grain. The slices still held together pretty well and are super tender...







Man-O-Man the taste was fantastic! Gonna make for some great sammies! This was really easy to do. Thanks to Hub for the EZ Pastrami recipe ;)
