so i kept it small simple and cheap lol then i threw in a few steaks for sandwiches and salads later in the week. the snow is at my place in NY we did not get any here at home in VT but many others in VT did though.




 
Looking good for your first, looking forward to sliced pics!
 
well the steaks got done so i made the girls sandwiches and i cant have all those carbs so i went with no bread and put my meat with onions and a  little hot sauce.









 
well its been done for awhile and was wrapped and resting. finishing up spaghetti squash and will give it a slice. I just realized this was a corned beef brisket so not sure if thats a good or bad one lol but we will see how it tastes

My friend, you just made your first pastrami! Smoked corned beef is pastrami!

You should love what you just created!
 
I'm sure it'll be good! A bit different seasoning than normally used for pastrami, but you should like it.

Points for your first pastrami!
 
Actually, around here, a precorned brisket is quite a bit more expensive than a normal flat.

But, the good thing about BBQ is that we can usually eat our mistakes!

Quit stalling, how is it?

Nothing wrong with a good pastrami (even if by accident)!
 
Get yourself some Kraut, marbles eye, a good mustard or Russian dressing and make ruebens!

Or serve it up with kraut, sautéed apples onions and mashed taters.

lol it was actually very good.not the texture i was hoping for ( wanted a real brisket) and it was a cheap chain store piece of meat so it was kinda fatty( maybe most are ) for me.

but over all nobody complained

i did a ten year stint in Texas and I lived in dallas/plano/frisco/ and little elm. i still have great friends in Frisco
 
Next time, with a regular brisket, if you do the same as you did here, you'll nail it!

Dirtsailor is on the money, you have the makings of some killer Reuben sammichs right there!

From Texas to Vermont is quite the climate change! Stay warm.
