Beef Pastrami Recipe - Cooking Index
6 lbs | 2724g / 96oz | Beef brisket |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Salt |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Saltpeter |
4 tablespoons | 60ml | Black pepper - freshly ground |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Brown sugar - firmly packed |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Mixed whole pickling spice |
3 teaspoons | 15ml | Ginger - ground |
Mix the Salt, Saltpeter, spices and Sugar together and then rub into the Beef forcing it into the meat. Set into a pan, cover closely, and put into the refrigerator or a very cool place.
Turn every few days for 3 weeks, then smoke over a barbecue pit or in a smokehouse -- over very low heat for 4 hours. It will keep well for some time in a cool place.
To prepare, cover with cold Water and cook until tender. The length of cooking time depends on how long it was smoked. Barb Day
