    Pastrami newbie.. Cold or hot smoke.

    So honestly I have never cold smoked one. I personally hot smoke, 225-275 f, until an IT of 190-195 or probe tender. I also like to steam it the next day after it cools and I find it gives me a better pastrami texture. I bet you could cold smoke it and then finish in oven though. Let us know how...

    Why is my pastrami not getting good cure penetration??

    I tend to vacuum sealer mine to ensure it stays in the brine. If you have big enough bags you can do that as well. I have also used 2 gallon zip lock bags as well. You get as much air out as you can before closing to ensure the meat stays submerged/covered in the cure/brine.

    Sure do. I will be pulling the pastrami next weekend to smoke it, and once my sausage casings come in, I will be making 10 lbs of breakfast links and 10 lbs of smoked sausages. The ease of use the pellet grill had brought makes me cook more outside now. Glad I pulled the trigger on it.

    I cooked them on the stove in my CI pan with a dab of butter. Cooked 90% on skin to get it crispy and then flipped for color. Thank you all for the comments. So I had a piece of salmon and little bit of rib and one chicken wing for dinner 😉

    Pulled the ribs off. Nice and probe tender. Letting rest before cutting.

    You can also inject the brine/cure into the meat to help cure inside our as well.

    Beef Tongue Tips?

    If it is tongue I thought the same thing. I will be doing a cook with them this week sometime. I have eaten lots of beef tongue in my life so I should be able to tell if it is tongue once i cook it and try some. And I do love a good taco.
