Smoked some pastrami
Collapse

Cripes, what cut of meat is that??? I LOVE me some homemade pastrami, made some myself the other night:
I'm always disappointed in my yield.... I did a 4 lb flat and a 3ish lb point. After smoking, chilling and then steaming up to temp, I ended up with a hair over 2 pounds of pastrami! Man, that stuff came out to probably $20 a pound counting buying the corned beef and the pellets to smoke it, not counting the electricity (steamed it in the oven) and my own time messing with it! Don't get me wrong, it was fabulous, but... dang.
So did you cure your own, and what cut was it? And if so, how long did you brine it to get that thick cut completely cured?

The meat is roast from the round of an old hamburger cow I butchered. Yup I cured it.. I use a cure I buy made by ps spices called sweeter than sweet cure . It contains the sugar cure and salt.. I use the same thing to make hams and Bacon's.. just take the cure and rub generously then I vacuum sealer and throw in the fridge for two weeks.. soak in water for a few hours the rub down outside with coarse pepper and smoke!!
