Pastrami Time

Yeah, Yeah, I know I have been talking about making pastrami for some time now. But have been waiting for beef brisket to go on sale. It looks like that isn't going to happen any time soon. I got to digging around in the freezer and found a small part of a brisket. Of course it was the point end, not the best for pastrami. The point is kinda fat. One should really use the brisket flat, it is much more lean.
 Anyway I did trim all the outside fat I could. I will say here and now, not the best I have ever made but was pretty good. Although there is still some left. Here is the recipe I used.
Recipe Link:This is also a very good site for all kinds of sausage and smoked meats.

So if you are interested in making homemade Pastrami, this is the best recipe I have found.
