A little pastrami for the boys.

[Steve H]

Sorry about not posting up a cook in a while. Life has been busy!

3.5 pound corned beef. Pulled at 200. Probed tender.

Cooled and sliced the next morning. The boys at work devoured it! It came out delicious! It does look a bit dry. But it wasn't at all. I'm really impressed with that little pellet smoker.

That looks great Steve.

Pardon my ignorance but Pastrami and corned beef seem like two completely different meats to me. I have seen them both mentioned together in many posts here and it's confusing to me.

Is one turned into another somehow?

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING TO SEE STEVE! SOME RYE BREAD, SWISS, AND KRAUGHT THERE AND A BIG FAT REUBEN WOULD MAKE A MAN PRETTY HAPPY. RAY

Thanks Chris! When you take a corned beef. Throw on some coriander and pepper for a rub. Then smoke it. It is then a pastrami.

Very interesting. Something I will have to try on my new smoker.

Looks great Steve. We love Pastrami. I agree, some nice Rye bread etc is perfection.

Looooookiiiiing good Steve. Corned beef is still way too expensive up here, and they never seem to make it to the yellow tag bin unfortunately.

Point for sure

SEEMS THE ONLY TIME OF YEAR CORNED BEEF COMES ON SALE IS THE WEEK OR TWO BEFORE ST. PATRICK'S DAY, THESE DAYS ABOUT $3.99LB CHRIS. I ALWAYS MAKE A POINT OF PICKING UP A HALF DOZEN C-B FLATS FOR THE FREEZER, FAVORITE BRAND IS SHENSON'S. RAY

Even the St. Patties day sales this past year weren't anything to brag about. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they'll be better next year, but won't hold my breath.

We sometimes have great sales the day after St. Pats day. I think Aldi marked down to $1.99/lb last year.

You reminded me I have a cb in the freezer that needs to get used

We love Reubens around here, that wouldn't last very long, Steve. Excellent!

Thanks! This was just finger food for the troops. They know I do smoking and pickling things. And bug me to bring something in from time to time.

Thanks Chris! Yeah 3.5 pounds for 19.50 is a touch steep. But. I had a craving. And had to share with the boys.

Looks great Steve

Thanks! It was gone in 30 minutes. I almost had my fingers chewed off when I took a piece to save for someone!

Looks great, if somebody wants to do this make sure you soak it for 24 hours and change the water a few times, they can be bad salty if you don't.

Not going to happen.
Pulled the bag out of the freezer and it was bloated as a 5 day road kill.
Pulled a 4# brisket out to to cook this weekend.
