Are there recipes you thought you only eat when you go out to a restaurant? I certainly felt that way about pastrami.

The best pastrami in the country is at KATZ DELI. Now I am sure there are a lot of people who may argue with me but it is good. The biggest learning I had when researching the recipe was finding out that the pastrami is steamed for 2 hours before service. After serving my pastrami, I now truly understand that concept. Whenever you see the pastrami carved at the deli, you see how moist the meat is.

I took the easy way out with this recipe. I bought by brisket already corned. That means the pickling had already been done. So I had two basic things I needed to do to turn this into pastrami. The meat needed to be spiced to get the flavors and dark exterior. Then, once rested, the meat needed to be smoked. It is that easy.

The meat was so tender and had so much flavor. Of all the recipes I try, I was pleasantly surprised how good this turned out. This is a definite keeper and a perfect Sunday project. So you have the pastrami for sandwiches all week!
