I haven’t made pastrami for a couple years, so I’m a little rusty. (But every time I’ve made it, it’s been great, so I’m confident.)
Anyhow, the instructions say to soak for 8 hours. But I remember that being longer. I checked the Meathead cookbook, because that’s a few years old now, but it also says 8 hours.
So, I can soak it longer, right? I mean, I can start it Monday around 11AM, change the water that night at 11PM, and then start pastrami Tuesday morning, and it will be the same as soaking it overnight from Monday to Tuesday, I’m thinking.
Anyhow, there’s no harm in consulting the hive mind. What say my pastrami pals?
