4PG you can make your own from scratch or cheat a little,and use a corned beef that you soaked the salt out of,thanks for the point.

Not much to show in a step by step,make your brine use Pops less the sugar add 3 TBSP pickling spice per each half gal. I use the 2 gal bags with a half gal of brine for mine.

Thanks for the point hope this helps

HS Forgot to mention that the brine should be simmered for 15 to 20 min. then cooled before adding the cure #1.

Looks fantastic.  Took my first shot at it a few weeks ago with corned venison I had left over in the freezer.  Used a basic rub I had leftover in the cupboard.  Ended up tasting great but I would like to make my own pastrami specific rub.  Any suggestions??

once I pull it from the brine it gets rinsed and soaked (for sodium reasons) then I dry it and the only coating I put on is a little salt and a tremendous amount of CBP rubbed in well then off to the smoker.

Tom I have made these from store bought Corn Beef,this is way better,so when you get to make it.Mrs OS may change her mind about it.Thanks for the point

Use the same brine recipe and make your own corned beef. Like the pastrami, you''ll never go back to store bought again!!

I grind 50/50 black peppercorns and coriander and apply liberally. Personally, I like the heat component of the black peppercorns in combination with floral notes in the pickling spices/brine.

4 TBSP Coarse Black Pepper

2 TBSP Ground Coriander

1 TBSP Paprika.

I use a mustard as a glue to hold the rub
