"Deli-Cured Brisket"????
In the "Smoke & Spice" cookbook, there's a recipe for "Deli-Cured
Brisket" in which you marinate (overnight) a 4# flat in a brine including salt, brown sugar, and pickling spices. The rub includes black pepper, salt, garlic powder, cracked coriander seed, and cracked mustard seed. Cook at 220=BA for 3 hours, wrap in foil, and cook for another 2 hours or until done. Has anyone ever tried this? Would I end up with anything close to pastrami? Should I marinate longer? pb |

Should I marinate longer? pb You're describing a pretty conventional pastrami recipe. The difference is that the curing time is very short. Whether you like that or not is a matter of taste. I cure mine longer, about 7 days. I take it out and rinse it, then soak it in cool water for about an hour to remove some of the salt from the surface. I rub it with a spice mix, wrap it and fridge it overnight, then smoke it to 185-190 F internal. Be careful of Smoke and Spice, BTW. It contains some very inaccurate time/temp information. -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |

I like the stuff in Smoke & Spice but have never made that particular dish. I like the one made with coffee. Harry |
