Yesterday
I desalinated the 7 lbs of corned beef (pastrami to be) be for eight hours, changing the water once. I prepared Meadhead's Katz's rub and will let it sit for two days. I'll be using plum wood to smoke the pastrami and plan on taking it to 170 F. I'm going to finish it off in the sous vide @ 195 for 4 hours. I'm saving that 3 lb hunk of corned beef for March 17. This will be my first of many pastrami conjurings. I'm anxious to taste my home made corned beef on St Paddy's Day
