    Another Pastrami Question

    For those who cook pastrami all the way to 200°+ on the smoker, do you eat it right away, or do you rest it for any appreciable amount of time?

    Its gotta cool a bit or it can fall apart while slicing. I usually wrap in foil and put it in the oven turned off for an hour or so.

      Thanks. I was just wondering if you needed to rest it for a day or 2 like with MH's original recipe. To me that would kind of defeat the purpose of cooking it all the way, but wanted to be sure.

      Meatheads has an option for steaming or serving same day

    Treat it like a brisket. Cambro for an hour or two.

      I let it sit for a while but it shouldn't shred if you treat it as the brisket it is and look for the ol' probe tender around the 200deg mark

        I smoked then fridge for a day as Planned eat for family next day.
        Steamed for an hour or so day of eating.
        Came out pretty good as first try.

          I give it 100% the same as a brisket, including faux cambro hold time of 1-2hrs. Tough pastrami isn't as delicious IMO. Pro tip: much easier to slice on the slicer tomorrow out of the fridge.

            That would be great, if I had a slicer. 😁

          Pastrami sliced thin, pile high between grilled Rye Bread, add Sauerkraut, and 1000 island. Taters, and PBR on the side.,

            Yeah. I don't do kraut or 1000 Islands/Russian dressing. I know, I know. . .🥺😣😳 I just like my pastrami hot on a roll (and I'm learning to like rye if it doesn't have caraway seeds) with a spicy brown deli mustard.

            I made homemade Russian dressing once. I could get it down, but didn't love it by a long shot.
