Made pastrami this weekend

[Sir Lucius]

Brined a costco brisket for 6 days, then smoked it for 8 hours, and steamed it for 4 hours.

Turned out pretty good, though it probably could have used a few extra days in the brine. The thickest part of the point didn't get hit by the cure. Another option may have been doing an injection.

Very tasty though.

The trick to pastrami is more the seasonings than the cooking technique. It's basically the same as a standard Texas style brisket but this time you are pounding the flavor in to that bitch with complete disregard to purist brisket ethics. It's like NY and TX had a baby.

Maybe SL will bust out MSPaint and do up his pastrami sammiches?

I sold my smoker so I no longer smoke, but brisket is so dense it's best to inject it with brine. I don't like buying unitask kitchen tools, but there's always injectors to be found at thrift stores.

I bet you saved a lot of money doing this. The more you learn

Sir Lucius didn't you leave TW for the $15 SA forums? We all told you it was a bad idea.
