Pastrami Rub

[sandyut]

I picked up a couple corned flats for pastrami. I have three rub recipes and I didnt notate which one I like best.

Looking for a simple/easy pastrami rub with ingredients I will have on hand that dont require roasting and grinding etc. . Not a juniper berry fan either. If you are good with sharing, please do. Thanks! Gonna make these in a couple few weeks.

The recipe I've always used is from our late friend Chef JimmyJ and includes grinding, toasting and Juniper berries.
Good luck

I've gone down this rabbit whole. Basic pastrami rub is BP+coriander and a _TON_ of it. I personally think the famous places keep it this simple or close to it BUT they cure it with the spices so the spices meld with the meat over a few weeks.

I like equal parts BP/gran garlic/coriander but next run I plan to try adding pickling spice to it. FYI pickling spice has all those odd ball spices in it like mustard seed/allspice/dill so no need to buy separately.

Would be a bad idea to use all ground spices and not the whole seeds crushed? Doesnt seem like it would make a big difference.

I've defaulted to coarse ground black pepper and paprika .

One of these days I am trying Canadian Steak + cure on a point. Think that could be big.

You can get by with store-bought garlic pepper and add coriander, but be sure and look at the sodium amount in the garlic pepper.... because corning brines have salt.

Use the Trade East brand and I bet it is . I use it on everything without the cure .
On a point .


Adding cure would be awesome .

I've used the Meathead Katz copy.

I mostly use any store bought pickling spice and pick out the allspice and juniper berries.

Works just fine that way. Done it many times. You won't be disappointed.

Pepper only is what I’ve been doing

Here's mine. As I recall it's origin is Katz's (based on online sources) and I tweaked it.

Sorry, you will need to coarse grind some whole coriander do do it right but make it your own and do what you want! Probably not gonna suck no matter what direction you go. I never buy any rubs...always make my own, except everything bagel seasoning...not sure why I'm not making that too!

It's also very good on other stuff too. Rubbing a turkey or chicken before smoking it is tasty.

3 tablespoons coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon fine ground black pepper
3 tablespoons coarsely ground coriander
1 tablespoon fine ground coriander
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon fine ground cayenne

*Add salt if not using on corned beef. Corned beef is already salty

After much research and trial and error, here's my approximation of Katz's pastrami rub recipe for a New York pastrami sandwich at home.
