No Katz a Snake will have to do.

[flatbroke]

Retired Spook posted the pastrami thread and got me hankering for some pastrami. With the holiday etc figured best to hold off on a Katz order to ensure safe delivery time so a little Snake will have to tie me over.

So I took a couple SRF corned beef Rounds out of the freezer and in for a 24 hour soak changing water every 4-6 hrs

Loaded them in to the brine bucket and In the to garage refrigerator they go.

I will smoke them In Little Jake on Sunday. Man my mouth is watering already. Time to make the seasoning.

They're going to be good

I'll be anxiously awaiting the outcome as well. Good looking Corned Beef.

 

[pc farmer]

Been along time since I made any. Might just have to cure some meat and get it done

 

[Retired Spook]

They look good, but if they are already corned beef, why are you putting them in brine again?

I have never seen corned beef round, only corned beef brisket. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. The Wagyu should have enough fat to make a good pastrami.

they went in water to lessen the salt.

Ahh - I misread "brine bucket" to mean more brine.

Can’t wait to see them taking on smoke. Are you using big or little Jake?

I think a lot of processed pastrami you buy, like Boars Head, is made from round. Your Wagyu round should result in a better fat content and still be leaner than pastrami make from brisket point or beef navel.

I'm sure it'll turn out good, but I guess we got a bit of a wait to see the end product.

I refuse to call that Boar's Head pastrami-flavored roasted beef round, pastrami.

I know that there are a few folks here that are not cray-cray about fat, but "pastrami" has fat, and the fat is a part of what makes pastrami so fricken good! When I was a youngster some folks would call it Jewish bacon, but all I know is that it is delicious.

I am interested to see how this turns out!

Going to use little Jake.

Got them rubbed down with seasoning.
They weighed 3 pounds 8 3#9 and 3# 11. Just for random info.

Then wrapped in plastic to set up overnight.

I used Malcom Reeds pastrami rub recipe as follows for those that haven’t seen it. It’s easy and I had the ingredients already.
2 Tablespoons Coarse Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
½ teaspoon Granulated Garlic
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Spanish Paprika
½ teaspoon Ground Coriander
Fire up little Jake tomorrow morning.
