I'm one of those people that buys meat on sale and sticks in the freezer and to not use it up as fast as I buy it. So I'm doing some cleaning out and found a couple corned beef points that thought would taste good as pastrami....and I was right ….
Had a cold pastrami sammie for lunch today at work that was damn good, but I just finished a hot one for dinner..and it was awesome...been a while since I had pastrami.
Here's how it went;
Rinsed the two points in cold water then dried them good. Then made a rub of 3 parts course ground coriander, 3 parts black pepper and 1 part garlic powder.
Coated them good with the rub and placed back in the frig for a few hours;
After about 6 hours resting in the frig I fired up some charcoal and got the smoker running at about 250°f , added some hickory and just left them alone till they reached 165° internal temp.
here they are almost finished.
Once they reached temperature I pulled them and wrapped in HD aluminum foil and let them cool down before I placed them back in the frig for the night. This morning I sliced them up.
and a close up to make ya drool;
My wife who is not a big meat eater or smoked food eater was eating it almost as fast as I could slice it so it couldn't be to bad.
Thanks for checking out my pastrami.
