Yankee BBQ
Despite having a decent sized Jewish population in KC, I always seem to struggle to find a good pastrami sandwich in my neighborhood. We have some good Italian delis, but the closure of New York Deli left me unable to find a pastrami sandwich worth a **** around KC. So I figured I'd give it a shot at home with my own version of traditionally prepped pastrami.

Ingredients for the wet cure.

Spoiler!


McGonigle's whole trimmed brisket. This is just the flat, I cut the point off because I'd rather smoke it for burnt ends.

Spoiler!


Submerged with brine in a food grade bucket.

Spoiler!


2 weeks later. Pulled from the brine. Rinsed. Pastrami rub added, placed in refrigerator overnight to let the rub penetrate.

Spoiler!


14 hours later. Pulled from refrigerator, ready to smoke.

Spoiler!


Smoked to an internal temp of 165 over hickory and cherry.

Spoiler!


I don't have a steamer so I had to manufacture one. I poured already boiling water into a roasting pan and placed the pastrami on top of a broiler pan, topped with foil and placed in the oven at 350. ***I cut a test piece off to ensure my flavors were there***

Spoiler!


Out of the steamer, ready to slice.

Spoiler!


Served on light rye with yellow mustard and homemade hot refrigerator pickles I make.

Spoiler!


Verdict: Nice savory flavor, nice bite from the rub. When I do this again, I may take it up to 175/180 in the smoker as I don't have a steam room to set it in all day. Also, I really need a meat slicer (and a better camera), a good one. The brisket sized slices were nice, but I prefer a thinner slice than I was able to accomplish with my slicing knife. Will definitely do it again.

Definitely a Q, no1curr, tl;dr

Very cool.

I bought this slicer 3 or 4 years ago.

While it certainly isn't commercial grade it gets the job done when slicing beef thin. I use it when I make dried beef.

I've never had a pastrami. Do you have any leftovers?

Yeah, I hadn't really planned on what I was going to do with 7 lbs of pastrami.

KC,

I do my own pastrami. I use a blend of white and black (telicherry) peppercorns with the coriander and also a little bit of crushed red pepper for added heat.

I would also recommend some white oak or pecan wood with apple. It balances a good flavor.

Those Hamilton beach roaster ovens work great as a steamer

Yeah, I went with the wood I had on hand. I used coriander as well, which I was leery of, but the crust was spot on.

What's your internal when you take it off your smoker?

Thanks for the recommendations.

170-175 and then to 185 under steam

I let it rest for quite a while 1 hour plus to relax.

Save the scrapes for a great pastrami hash.
Top with a poached egg and horseradish mustard hollandaise.

Good to know. My initial thought afterwards was to leave it on to 175.

That seals it, I got a Boulevard Love Child #3 with your name on it when I'm down next year. Well done.
