I told
xray
that I was going to start a pastrami ... well, here goes! I went to my local meat market looking for 5 pounds of eye of round. They sell it for $5.99 a pound - they brought this cyrovac bag out from the back. It weighed in at 6-3/4 pounds and they said if I bought the whole cut they'd drop the price to $3.99 a pound.
SOLD!!!
I trimmed the fat cap off, cut it in half, and injected it throughout, then bagged it up in SmokinAl 's pastrami brine (I sed the same brine to inject it). In 2 weeks it'll be ready for a soak, seasoning, and smoke, ultimately ending up being sous vide. Thanks you all for the inspiration and knowledge you all share on this forum. It's fun to try new things!
