    Eye Round Pastrami with Pop's Brine

    Thanks - a conversation with my grandmother about year ago inspired me to try it (she said her favorite deli-meat was pastrami and she missed getting the stuff from local butchers many years ago).  Took longer to get around to doing it than I'd hoped.  The hard part will be saving her some!

    Eye Round Pastrami with Pop's Brine

    So after a couple weeks (15 days) in Pop's Brine I pulled them out yesterday, rinsed them, slathered them in mustard and smoked them on the Big Green Egg to an internal temp of 150 degrees.  Had it been a traditional brisket instead of grass fed eye-round, I would have smoked to a higher...

    Eye Round Pastrami with Pop's Brine

    Eye Round Pastrami with Pop's Brine

    Hi Gang, I've done a corned beef before and it was the best corned beef (and subsequently corned beef hash) that I'd ever had.  That time, I'd used a grass-fed whole brisket from our freezer (we get a side of beef from a local ranch each year).  But, this year I was hoping to save the brisket...

    Greets from Atlanta's southside

    Hi Gang, I'm a transplanted Yankee down here in the South.  Where I came from, barbecue was a verb... but I've come to understand that barbecue is indeed a noun (even a Yankee can be taught!).  As such, I took up the pastime about 5 years back with a Char-griller side box set-up.  While I like...
