In the last week I have watched a couple shows on the tube which showed delis making pastrami....
All the curing and brining seemed to fit right in with what I know about making pastrami.....
The puzzling part was how they heated it prior to slicing.....think they mentioned "steam bath", but what they showed was placing the meat in a steaming hot water bath! Some even mentioned the meat was too tender afterwards to use a mechanical slicer so they had to hand cut it...!!!
The meat was all fully smoked prior to this process.......make sense ???
