pastrami from scratch

nothin like making it yourself!

This time around I made my pastrami a little differently from my usual recipe.

Just like the famous beer commercial, it all starts with the water and in this case, I mean beer! When Karen, Laura and Kristin met in Greece, I bought a case of  Mythos. It was this beer and added seasonings, preservative and salt that I soaked my beef to make home made corned beef. From this corned beef, I rinsed and soaked the meat and finally added additional seasonings (Spanish Pimenton & basic pickling-like spices) to be smoked for 6 hours in hickory and mesquite.  It was wonderful to make and even more wonderful to consume!

enjoy your day.
