Pastrami Stix

[NePaSmoKer]

Yup  :D

Here my mix.


Salt, 1/2 Tbs per lb of meat
SPC, 2.5 Tbs
Black pepper, 2Tbs
Coriander, 1.5 Tbs
Coriander seed, 1.5 Tbs
Cure #1, Just about 1/2 tsp
Brown sugar, 1 Tbs
Garlic powder, 1 Tbs
3/4 Cup water

Mix together good with the water, set aside so flavors come together.


Next 3 lbs of 80/20 GB....You can use any cut you like.


Mix the season with the meat real good.



Now here comes the part i hardly ever do. Put the mix in a zip lock and fridge for 1-2 days.....HUH  ??? BUT BUT You say dont do this. Mix-stuff-smoke  :D  Ha yeah goes against my grain but trust me grasshopper  :D



Remember this is going to make the meat tight and will be hard (but not impossible) to stuff through a small tube. If needed you can add 1.5 Tbs of canola oil to the mix before stuffing. Also letting the mix come to room temp will help.

If you want to make more than the 3 lbs just add more dry in small adds at a time (less is better) Taste test add more if needed. Easier to add than to take out.

Only thing I see missing is a box with my address on it!  Those are going to be awesome!

I'm guessing the 1-2 day wait is to allow the spices to marry with the meat to impart a better pastrami taste.  Am I close Master?

I'm watching this!   Portable Pastrami!

I'll bet they will be killer!

Would a bit more water at stuffing time be an alternative to canola oil to help re-loosen the meat mix?

I see you said 1/2 TBS salt per lb of meat.

Is the rest of the ingredients based on the 3 lbs of meat?
