Bonehead move with pastrami -- forgot to soak!

[oldsmokey]

So I just pulled my cured and smoked brisket from the smoker and realized that I had forgotten to soak the meat before putting it on the smoker. It is now salty as all get-out.

Has anyone been around this block before? I've cooked the meat to 165, so it has a while to go in the steamer before it's ready to serve. Would you soak it now, then re-season it with coriander and pepper before steaming it?

Any other ideas, aside using as a picture on my grave stone?

Ack.

I think your best bet is to ship it to me. I'll figure out what to do with it

I may have to come with it. My wife has advertised Reuben sandwiches tomorrow for our extended family.

I guess if I had time, I would soak it for a few hours, re-season the outside and put it back on the smoker to get it up to temp even if it meant skipping the steaming step. Good luck...

Slice, steam, assemble, eat. Shouldn't be too bad if you steam long enough.
