Going to a 4th of July party tomorrow and the family begged me to make some
Pastrami so I smoked up a flat and a point cut on Tuesday, sat it in the fridge for a couple o days and today steamed and sliced it! This is becoming one of my favorite things to make! Just got a couple of pics. Of course I had to make myself lunch today to have a taste. Tomorrow I probably won't have any as I'd like everyone else to enjoy it.

Nah, didn't corn it myself. Used a store bought, desalinated it, made the rub, and smoked it. Then steamed it. Would love to try the whole process from start to finish but brisket prices are so out of hand where I live. Still living off St. Patrick's day sales in the freezer haha

Made a pastrami on Father's Day from a store bought corned beef. Turned out excellent. Very easy to do on top of it
