Anyone have a fool proof method for making Pastrami out of packaged corned beef?
I have a couple corned beef flats in the freezer I need to do something with.

Do a search for "fauxstrami" and you'll get 22 threads, we call it Fauxstrami, because although your get a product that is similar to pastrami, it's more of a false pastrami than a real one.

Quote:
IMO the big "secret" to making a good fauxstrami, rinse your corned beef well, (several hours in dribbling running water), pack it with toasted crushed coriander seed and fresh cracked black pepper, smoke it for 4 or 5 hours, then put it in a pan on a cooling rack, put a couple of cups of water in the pan, saran wrap over the top of the pan, then foil over the top of the saran, pressure steam at 225° for another 4 hours.

Allow it to cool, refrigerate overnight, chill for 25 - 30 minutes in the freezer, then thin slice on an electric slicer or with a really steady hand and a good knife.

Try it for yourself, read up on pastrami from as many sources as you can, and make up your own mind!

Phil,

SoEzzy posted one of my pastrami topics... the one where I made it from scratch. Here's a link to another that I posted up using the prepackaged corned beef.

Hope this helps!
