Nice job on the Pastrami KyNola, just seen your thread and was thinking how it would taste with out soaking it first. Maybe a rest in the fridge will help, if not through on some hot mustard and a slab of sweet onion between some marble rye.

Me too, me too
I have a pastrami, dry cure that will find its way to the smoker tomorrow
I have been taking pics along the way and will take some more and post all at the same time
I am hoping my patience will be rewarded. I have to go buy a slicer as I will not be doing this by hand

On top of that, I have a 7.5 lb pork loin that is getting to know the pastrami very well and will miss it when it goes to the
smoker tomorrow.

The loin will become half peameal and half Canadian Bacon. Yes there are pics LOL moe food porn to come
Never in my life did I think I would be taking pics of pieces of meat and posting them for the world to see !

Here's the finished results.

The saltiness did calm down a bit after a rest in the frig but will soak first next time. I'm pretty happy with the results. Great flavor and not tough at all. Will vac seal some of it for later. Some won't make it to the vac sealer! :D

Oakville,
Can't wait to see how yours turns out too. A slicer is in your future for sure.

Mmmmm, pastrami.

If it taste half as good as it looks you must be in pastrami heaven. Looks great.

It looks great! And from my brief experience with corned beef Pastrami (done it once for the cafeteria at work ;)), it will get better and better every day.. (if it lasts more than a few days) It will turn from bright red to some darker hues, and the texture will get better, while the spices mild out.

Bravo!
