This simple, 3 ingredient pastrami is the best you will ever make. It couldn’t be any easier!
Ingredients:
- One corned beef
- 1/4 cup of whole peppercorns
- 1/4 cup of whole coriander seeds
Directions:
- Remove corned beef from package
- Place fat cap down
- Grind peppercorns and coriander in a coffee grinder
- Spread ground mixture evenly, on all sides of the pastrami
- Insert a meat thermometer for temp monitoring during cook
- Place pan on GMG or smoker and begin smoking, at 275 degrees
- Rotate pan every 60 minutes
- Cook until internal temperature is 200 degrees, total cook time will be 4-6 hours depending on the size of beef cut
- Rest 30-60 minutes before slicing
- Slice, serve and enjoy!
Note: After the meat reaches an internal temp of 160 degrees, or after 3 hours, you can cover the pan with foil and it’ll cook more quickly. You could also finish this in the oven, as the meat won’t take any more smoke.
Try making a Reuben sandwich with the pastrami! It’s amazing.
