Dang,
That looks great!!!!!
I could only imagine what that would taste like with sauerkraut and rye with a couple slices of provolone topped with nice 1000 Island!!

hmm. Gonna have to do some research on making my own pastrami. If it turns out looking like this one I think I'll be happy

Looks incredible. Used to be a huge pastrami fan, but so rare nowadays to find some with any flavor at all. I suspect most store-bought is just 'leaned' right out of flavor, but that there looks mighty tasty.

The easy way is just buy premade corned beef, especially if you have a good local butcher shop that makes it regularly. Unfortunately in southern California the only time it really shows up in stores is around st paddys day so I have resorted to corning my own briskets.

As far as the brine goes I use Alton Browns Corned beef recipe only doubled to accommodate a packer size brisket.

Prep for smoking is super simple, Plain old yellow mustard massage as a base to get everything to stick nicely, followed by a LIGHT dusting of 50/50 garlic and onion powder from a shaker and then a HEAVY coating of black pepper.

Thats it! I smoke it with apple wood at 225*-245* until a it feels relaxed or a tooth pick goes into it like its butter. Generally speaking they take between 10-12 hours.
