home made pastrami
I haven't included the time for soaking in the prep time and I have averaged out the cooking time because that will depend very much on the size of joint you use. The serving size is dependent on how hungry you are..could be used as a deli meat in a salad or sandwiches, a main meal..whatever !

How To Make home made pastrami
-
Step 1Soak the corned beef for a few hours to get some of the salt out of the meat (or it is too salty)
-
Step 2MAKE THE RUB: Grind up the coriander seeds, peppercorns and mustard seeds coarsely. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
-
Step 3Once the beef has soaked remove it and let it drain - then pat it dry and put the rub all over the outside to form a crust.
-
Step 4Following this it needs to be smoked. We hot smoked it… So we put the smoker in the BBQ – we used Manuka chips to smoke it (basically needs to be a mild smoke) but you could put a tray in the BBQ with the wood chips in and cook the joint i the BBQ ona medium heat.
-
Step 5Once the internal temp of the meat is 165 F then it’s absorbed the amount of smoke it will need.
-
Step 6You can either eat it hot or let it chill and then thinly slice it.
