Pastrami rub?

[ksmedic]

Looking to do my first pastrami. Any thoughts on the best "rub" to use and do you usually soak a corned beef 24 hours or so to draw some salt out?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

This thread has my GoTo Recipe for a Pastrami Rub in fact with the addition of some Salt I use it on all my Beef whether Smoked or Grilled. As far as soaking, cut a piece and Fry Test it. If it taste good, add Rub and Smoke. If not Soak an hour and test again, repeat as needed. Have fun...JJ
