I got a nice piece of filet and a sirloin

Decided to do pastrami out of the sirloin and pstrama two way out of the filet

The filet went in to a dry rub for 10 days

The sirloin gone in to a brine   for  10 days

After 10 days the  filet  and the sirloin went it to a bath  of ice water for 5 hours.

  got a new coat of spices , one filet and the sirloin gone in to

The smoker at 225’f till   IT 195’f  got wrapped  in foil over night

The other filet   was hanged   in the cellar for 7 days .

The pastrami and the smoked filet   are   great but the dry filet is amazing it got a great  deep   flavour.

Thanks for looking
 
 It all looks great,  So the dry rubbed filet cured for 17 days before smoking?  The color is great and I bet the flavors where pretty concentrated.
