Easy Smoked Pastrami
This simple, 3 ingredient pastrami is the best you will ever make. It couldn't be any easier!
Ingredients:
One corned beef
1/4 cup of whole peppercorns
1/4 cup of whole coriander seeds
Directions:
Remove corned beef from package
Place fat cap down
Grind peppercorns and coriander in a coffee grinder
Spread ground mixture evenly, on all sides of the pastrami
Insert a meat thermometer for temp monitoring during cook
Place pan on GMG or smoker and begin smoking, at 275 degrees
Rotate pan every 60 minutes
Cook until internal temperature is 200 degrees, total cook time will be 4-6 hours depending on the size of beef cut
Rest 30-60 minutes before slicing
Slice, serve and enjoy!
Note: After the meat reaches an internal temp of 160 degrees, or after 3 hours, you can cover the pan with foil and it'll cook more quickly. You could also finish this in the oven, as the meat won't take any more smoke.
Try making a Reuben sandwich with the pastrami! It's amazing.
