Pastrami Slim Jims

[BGKYSmoker]

On the 20th i made some pastrami mix for 3 lb batch of sticks.

My dry ingredients.

Mixed into 3/4 cup water.

Mixed into meat by hand.

Into a zip lock bag. Try to remove as much air as you can. Now fridge this 3-4 days.....Or longer if you can hold out...HAHA

This morning i took the bag out to do the slim jims. Let this stand and get close to room temp....No ya aint going to get sick.

Got the pastrami sticks done and on a 2 hour bloom. Will cut later and do a couple day fridge rest so the flavor can marry.

I wonder...   how do you think they would turn out if you didn't stuff them...   used a jerky gun and smoked them flat on racks instead of hanging...  

just wondering?
