Title: PASTRAMI!!!!
Post by: teesquare on October 08, 2012, 10:23:46 AM

I have been itchin' to make pastrami....So - I ding-donged Art (ACW3) and Rick (NEPAS) for a while with questions....Then I made up my brine, and dove in! ;D
I had friends over last nite - and  J Rod went to town on the slicer.....Brooklyn style! THIN, thin, thin....and used ALL of it before I could grab the camera and take pics of the whole pastrami....  :(

So - this is the "crust"...all that was left when J Rod got calmed down...realizing the next meat that got cut woul be fingers and thumbs... ;D

And....made some warm German potato salad to go with the pastrami. Not the best, most descriptive picture...This stuff has chopped bacon, potatoes, eggs, chives, paprika, vinegar, a little salt, pepper and and bit of sugar - nutmeg, mustrad seed and celery seed in it.
Really a Texas Hill Country kind of thing.

Looks excellent, nice job. You must have threw that in the brine right after the camp out.

Key - I cheated on these....
Pap- I used corned beef brisket flats for these... I have a "fresh" brisket flat in the cooler that will be coming out of the brine tonite.
Squirt-Made some mustard that is a blend of yellow and brown mustard grains, a Negra Modelo beer, aplle cider vinegar- and some of the usual suspects for spices
Thanks smoke! - I think it went well together.

Tee,
The pastrami looks good!!!  I will be happy to give you a lesson in making a Pennsylvania version of hot German potato salad.  It is absolutely killer.  Very simple.  Not a lot of spices.  Just a lot of bacon!!
