Cut it up in to 3 large pieces and one small
I used habs pastrami recipe
I would like to say a big thank you to habs for the recipe
Weighed all the pieces and applied the prober amount of dry cure to each piece
Sorry forgot to take pictures of this step... in the fridge for five days and turned every day
Here they are with the dry rub going on

Dang !!! that pastrami and pumpernickel rye bread is one of my favorite sammies, man a couple of them and a couple of coors lights I got a meal for sure...
Great outcome. That brisket has real nice marbling throughout the flat.
Slices from the point look good also. One of these days I'm going to make pastrami from the point,.
Looks like you had a real nice brisket to start with....the pastrami looks wonderful!
