    Pastrami is Ready!

    Follow-up to last weeks post. It took about 5 hours for this batch to hit 170 IT. Pulled it off and put back in the fridge for a couple days. I don't have sous vide equipment, so I did it the "el cheapo" way. My stockpot, and Smoke thermometer, and gas stove burner! I was actually able to keep close to 195 the whole time. I vacuum sealed the pastrami, and let her go for 4 hours. What a difference! My wife even liked it, and she is not a pastrami fan! Soooo much better sous vide. I don't think that I will ever steam my pastrami again. David Parrish , this is the best pastrami I have made yet! I have only made two batches of brisket, but I have made a lot from goose breast, and other game. This is the best by far!

    The neat thing about the post smoke sous vide is you can squeeze the bag to see how tender things are getting.

    I just ate supper and could go for a good pastrami sandwich with lettuce and mayo right now.

        As soon as I can find another brisket under $4.00/lb! It's strange, but around Baltimore, the whole packer is about 3.50/lb, but flats go for $7.00/ and up! And it's tough to find whole packers.

        Our briskets are up to $2.26/lb with plenty Choice to choose from. Might be months before I see another Choice in town. Thunder77

      Whole packers run about $2.85 in Southern Illinois. A trimmed flat is $6-$7 . Buy the packer, separate the point, cut the flat in half-cure all 3pcs. Pastrami the flats and the point is corned beef. Makes wonderful homemade corned beef hash.

              Fantastic Looking Pastrami! I asked Yesterday at the Meat Market if they Had any Corned Beef in stock, I was Told not until it Gets Closer to St. Pat's?
