Pastrami....with Fogo

SkinnyV

First off thanks Lit for the fogo lump plug, the stuff held my low and slow on this cook great. First 3 hours with smoke was sub 200 degrees, since it was getting late last 6 hours were 250 or so.

Bought my corned beef at Costco soaked 48 hours 3 water baths. Coated in pepper and coriander, and threw on the bge.sliced today after sitting overnight in the cooler. Only bummer is 5 lbs @ $4.19 lb yields a little over 2.5lbs finished.

No sandwich pics as I need a store run, I was eager to slice and taste. I will steam some , put it on good bread with mustard and pickles.

Looks really good. Just picked one up to make tomorrow. Can't wait for a Rueben sandwich.

I have one of those in the fridge waiting for the same thing.

I already made one in a French oven for early corned beef & cabbage.......really good, but you're right, it did cook down to just enough for the four of us.  Luckily, I did had enough left over for a simple creamed chipped beef on toast snack later that night.

I hope Costco keeps those in stock.  Same goes for their spiral cut hams--those last me 3-4 days (ham salad, ham & beans, ham & eggs, and of course ham with ham on the side.)  Anybody do a spiral cut ham on the Egg?  I was worried about it drying out, and put it in an oven bag--then finished it with a Dijon/apricot/brown sugar glaze.

Time for me to get a slicer so I can do sandwich meats like this.  SWMBO absolutely loves pastrami. Yours looks really really good.

Its a slow day, plated with some home made pickles.
Yeah I like the slaw idea on some rye ...next time.

Take some slices , little water in a pan and cover. Nice and steamed!

Sorry, I think this may be a dumb question but do the slices go in the water in the pan or over the pan with the water in it?
