Here’s my version two of making elk pastrami.

Last year I made some and it turned out great so I decided to make some more. Here is last years version: Elk Pastrami

I followed the same recipe: Smokin Al's Kick A$$ beef pastrami recipe here: Pastrami-from-scratch-lots-of-q-view

I had some really nice large chunks of meat I vacuum packed, pulled them out to thaw:

All sliced up, bagged and in the fridge. Vacuum seal tomorrow.

This will make a couple of Rubens don't you think?

Made some Ruben Sammies for dinner tonight, they really turned out great.

I didn't have any artisan rye or homemade sauerkraut but it still tasted damn good!

I think you should send some of that to an under-privileged Canadian. It looks great!
