EASY HOMEMADE PASTRAMI
Great pastrami is not the easiest thing to find west of the Catskills, so a few years ago I embarked on a mission to find a way to turn the common corned beef into something similar. My goal was to come up with a reasonable substitute that could be done in less than a day at home, without a smoker, or any other special equipment. Impossible? No!

Steps:
- Mix garlic and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Set aside for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
- Combine black pepper, paprika, coriander, dry mustard, white pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Cover a baking sheet with a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Coat aluminum foil with prepared garlic oil. Lay corned beef brisket on foil and brush with remaining garlic oil.
- Cover all sides of corned beef brisket completely with pepper mixture, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons.
- With fat side of corned beef brisket up, wrap in the sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped corned beef on another sheet of aluminum foil with the seam and fat side down. Place double-wrapped corned beef on a third sheet of aluminum foil (seam down), and wrap again.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6 hours.
- Remove pastrami from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 3 hours.
- With pastrami still wrapped in aluminum foil, place in a freezer bag or other plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 to 10 hours.
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Remove pastrami from refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of remaining pepper mixture.
- Place pastrami in the oven, 6 to 8 inches below broiler heat. Broil briefly to brown surface, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pastrami from the oven and slice thinly, about 1/8-inch slices.
- Heat a large skillet over low heat.
- Heat pastrami slices in the skillet with a few drops of water until fat begins to turn from white to translucent, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- For the brine: In a large stockpot, add half of the water, the brown sugar, kosher salt, curing salt, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, juniper berries, chile flakes, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon and star anise and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining water with some ice to chill the brine.
- For the rub: Grind the peppercorns, coriander and juniper until crushed but still a little chunky. Add to a mixing bowl. Add the salt, brown sugar, chile flakes and granulated garlic and stir to combine.
- For the pastrami: First, clean all the fat off the brisket including the "V" between the two muscles, then follow the fat between the two muscles and separate them making a flat and a cap.
- Transfer the brine to a large hotel pan or roasting pan. Add the brisket and refrigerate at least 5 days and no more than 10 days. Make sure the brisket is stirred once a day to get an evenly brined brisket.
- After a minimum of 5 days, prepare a smoker for 225 degrees F.
- Remove the pastrami, rinse it and blot dry with paper towels. Thoroughly rub the brined brisket with the pastrami rub. Place in smoker and cook for 8 hours until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
NO-SMOKER PASTRAMI
The lure of this pastrami recipe from La Boîte, a spice emporium in Hell's Kitchen, is that it is a project that does not require a smoker. The essential ingredients are smoked salt and Prague powder (the curing salt sodium nitrite). Both are sold online. It will take nearly a week to make, but the meat is mostly unattended. You could start it on Monday and have it ready for Sunday dinner. The pastrami - reheated and served with warm sauerkraut, or sliced on rye with mustard and sauerkraut - makes for superb cold-weather feasting. Keep it in mind as you plan for the Super Bowl or other occasions for feeding a crowd.

Steps:
- Place brisket in a gallon-size zipper freezer bag and set aside in a bowl or a large plastic container. Combine 3 tablespoons smoked salt, kosher salt, the sugars, Prague powder, bay leaves, garlic, cloves, crushed pepper, allspice and 1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds in a large bowl. Add 2 cups boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add 4 cups ice water to mixture, stir and pour into the bag with the meat. Add as much additional cold water as needed to fill the bag. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and place in the refrigerator still in its bowl or container. Keep refrigerated for 5 days.
- Remove meat from brine, rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Set meat on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Toast remaining coriander seeds and the mustard seeds in a dry skillet. Mix with the remaining smoked salt and crush all together. Add the coarse pepper. Press this spice mixture into the surface of the meat all over.
- Heat oven to 200 degrees. Place a rack in a rimmed baking sheet and cover rack with a piece of heavy-duty foil large enough to enclose meat. Punch some holes in the bottom of the foil for draining. Place meat on foil, wrap tightly and place pan in oven for 12 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool before refrigerating. At this point, pastrami will keep 10 to 12 days in the refrigerator.
- To serve, place all or a portion of the meat, wrapped in foil, in a steamer basket over simmering water in a large pot. Steam until warm, 30 minutes. Slice thin and serve.

HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH
Steps:
- Heat a flattop grill or pan on medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Set the buttered side of bread on the flattop. Add provolone to one slice and Swiss to the other slice. Grill until bread is toasted and cheese has melted, approximately 5 minutes, then remove from the flattop. Meanwhile, place pastrami on the flattop in a pile and the sauerkraut on the flattop in a separate pile. Grill both until warm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then flip and warm the other side. Add mayonnaise to both pieces of bread, then add mustard to one half. Place half the pastrami on one slice and the other half on the other slice. Add sauerkraut to one half and flip the other slice on top. Cut sandwich in half and enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE PASTRAMI IN 7 SIMPLE STEPS - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Author Derrick Riches
- Making Pastrami. Pastrami is simply smoked corned beef. If you buy corned beef, it's incredibly easy to make your own pastrami. Of course, you can also make homemade corned beef from scratch if you have three weeks to let it cure.
- Inspecting Your Corned Beef. Use a corned beef that is of consistent thickness and square in shape. This will give an even smoke across the corned beef and produce good pastrami.
- Soaking Your Corned Beef. Corned beef is made by curing large beef cuts in a saltwater brine for a couple of weeks. This salted beef is too salty to eat, so you will need to soak it for several hours to draw out most of that salt before you smoke it.
- Pastrami Rub. Pastrami has a unique flavor and there are many variations to the spice rub that goes on it. At the heart of most of these seasonings are black pepper and ground coriander.
- Smoking the Pastrami. Traditionally, pastrami is cold smoked. This means that it is smoked at cold temperatures around 60 F. This technique calls for hot smoking the pastrami, but at a fairly low temperature, around 225 F. You will need to smoke the pastrami for about 1 hour per pound.
- Finishing the Smoke. Your pastrami is done when the internal temperature of the corned beef reaches 165 F. The outside of the meat should be nearly black and the corned beef should have shrunk down by 10 to 20 percent.
- Slicing Pastrami. Once the pastrami is done, it's time to start slicing. If you don't have a meat slicer, then you will have to do this with a sharp knife.
