Prime Pastrami w/Lots of Qview

[cooker613]

Please enlighten me on Beef Navel......hopefully that is somewhat of a misnomer....i.e. Boston Butt??

Nope navel is navel. It is next to the brisket, sometimes, erroneously called plate. It’s very difficult to find out of the NE. It is an extremely fattly, tough, rich cut. Therefore perfect for pastrami. It long, flat, and generally rectangular shaped. But with enough time and love it will transport you to pastrami heaven.

It’s a place we all love!
And not to get to overboard, but if you want that real kosher deli flavor, you have to use kosher meat. Leaving aside the spiritual, as part of the kashering process includes a dry salt “rub”, there is an addedleve of flavor and tenderness enhancement. Enjoy.

Jesus that looks great.

None for this guy though....I have determined that I am allergic to cure #1. Totally screws up my finger joints. Weirdest thing and a little alarming.

This thread pushed me over the edge, and is why I have a pile of meat in my fridge for the next 10 days or so. Absolutely beautiful pastrami, gives me something to shoot for!
