Pastrami Loaf (Pic Heavy)

[tx smoker]

Cut it in half when finished and do both!

Not a bad idea Joe but the problem is that the flat is only 3#. Hardly worth the time and effort for a pound and a half of each. I may just go ahead and order a second one and do both as you suggested.

Hmmmm...

This is still on my list to do. I'm glad you shared how you go about doing yours. I actually did a loaf/sandwich/stromboli ...whatever you want to call it .and was getting ready to do a thread on it. Yours looks great! Like!

Joe first the pastrami looks fantastic. I did a beef knuckle like that last year in Pops and pickling spice but found a knuckle to have too much gristle and chewy parts to it. Gonna try again soon with a better cut like you did. Now lets get to those rolls.............................WOW I seriously can almost taste them. Love the flavor combos. A+++ on this !!!!!

Thank you very much! The flaky crescent rolls provide a nice contrast to the heavier filling ingredients.

Not a fan of the gristle.

Thanks Bacon! and for the kind words! It is some good stuff especially if you like Rubens. You could make this as simple or complex as you like. Make the dough, buy the dough...make the pastrami, go to the deli.....it's all good.

There's a lot of pastrami threads on the forum, the search bar is your friend. I will say, this was made with a london broil, so if you're going to use a thicker piece of meat, make sure to inject to ensure cure penetration.

I make a lot to slice, cube and freeze for Rubens and pastrami hash.

This thing avoided me long enough!!!
Nice Job, Joe!!

Thank you Bear! No worry, it will always be here waiting for you. I could always reheat the thread for leftovers!

Thanks again for the like!

Thanks Disco! It's a pretty quick meal, not counting the time in the brine. Good to see you back.

Thanks Chop, that sounds really good too. Last year for my work Christmas party I made reuben dip and had pumpernickel bread and rye triscuits for dipping. That was good too!

Thanks Richie, it’s still here but the actual food is long gone.

With you being an accomplished bread maker, you could easily make a nice stromboli out of it and stuff it to the gills. The crescent rolls also work good for an easy fix.
