Corned beef around here went from a sale price (before St. Pat's) to $4.99/ # the day after... unbelieveable!!

Did you make the corned beef for the pastrami or use store-bought?

I did one this year and same thing.  was not very tender.  Toothpick went in easy but after I sliced it it was still tough.  tried to steam it and didn't seem to change it much.  Ended up wrapping it with a little water and put in the oven for a while and it turned out a lot more tender.

I tried to salvage them in the CP but it didn't come out

My first run at pastrami turned out bad but I will try it again

Dinner wasn't a total loss

Thanks HUB, that does look what I was trying to do. you say to cook for six hours but nothing about the IT. Is the time the trick at 225 over the IT?
