Title: Pastrami in the morning
Post by: GusRobin on March 26, 2011, 09:10:00 PM
Stocked up on Corned Beef when it was on sale for St Paddys so I thought I would make some pastrami tomoorw.

Took the corned beef out of the package, rinsed and soaked in cold water for about an hour.

Rubbed it with some CSM (cheap spicy mustard) and applied Habs' pastrami rub from the Forum recipe site.

Into the fridge to air dry overnight and into the smoker first thing in the morning (or first thing after I get out of bed.)
More to come tomorrow.

I did the same on the corned beef Gus.  Got a nice rectangular flat.  I just rinsed, no soak.  I added additional peppercorns and yellow mustard seed to Hab's recipe.  I guess it came out good 'cause everyone loves it.

Looking forward to see how yours comes out.

While waiting for the pastrami I decided to make lunch.
Sliced up some homemade kielbasa, sweet peppers, onions, added some chile powder, garlic, and EEVO and threw in a pan.

Put it on the plate with some spicy and regular mustard.(sorry for the blurry pic)

Hmmmm.  Maybe I could stop by your place - for a couple of weeks.  ;D

Anytime -- just bring the beer.

So I finished the pastrami and FM'd (foil and microwave) it for a couple of hours. Normally I would then wrap and put it in the fridge overnight. But we were too hungry to wait so I sliced it all. Forgot to take a pic before slicing.

Here it is sliced:

The wife made a sammie that looked good, but the peppers and onions I had for lunch got me thinking of something else. So I fried up some sweet peppers and onions. Mixed in some sliced pastrami. Then I took a smoked hardboiled egg, cut it up and added it to the mix.

Pic is before I added the egg. The wife said that the sammie was one of the best pastrami's that she has had. As for me, I think I found a new dish with the fried peppers, pastrami, and hardboiled egg.

Glad I stocked up with corned beef during the St paddys day sales as it becomes good pastrami without having to wait a week for curing a brisket.

That is some good looking pastrami.  Looks to be very lean.  Nice work Gus.

Those dishes are works of culinary art.  Your own homemade kielbasa too!!!  Wow, good work Gus.
