Make it at home
Pastrami on rye, deli style
3 days brining, 6 hr smoking or oven, 3 hr steaming (about 1 hr hands-on) · A 2 kg brisket, about 8 big sandwiches. Deli pastrami is three slow steps: cure, smoke, steam. The steam at the end is what makes it fall apart under the knife. Do it for a crowd; it keeps a week.
