In celebration of St Patty's Day am making my first attempt at Pastrami for Ruben Sammy's - ala Roy's Place. Will chase it down with a barley wine that is currently chilling in the ice box.
Am cheating by using a Costco pre-Corned beef
Soaked the pre-corned flat in water for 24+ hrs - changing the water every 9-12 hrs.
Rubbed on what ever was on-hand
And into the smoker for an overnight smoke
On a side note - just got back from a trip to WDC. While in Crystal City tried a BBQ dinner at "King Street Blues" - Pulled Pork, Baby Backs and Brisket Platter
Was an AWESOME dinner!!!
Will go back there again when/if I get back to Crystal City.
BTW - Their BBQ sauce was not half bad. No where near some of the other sauces but better then many of the commercial varieties out there.
After the pastrami comes out - a twist on meube nuggets go in
Instead of Soy Vay am trying a new brand that my local Costco is now carrying, along with some cashews
UGGGH!!! As I type this I did a search for Roy's Place - a FANTASTIC Sandwich shop where I grew up. Unfortunately it looks like they have closed their doors
Fortunately, before moving west I bought their recipe book.
This will be a special Reuben.
Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patty's Day. May your beer be green and your corn beef and cabbage plentiful.
