It's NY-style pastrami, if that's your intended goal. Make two so that you can wolf one down as soon as it's ready and you'll have the second one for later.

I'll second the recommendation for thirdeye's pastrami. I did one two weeks ago and it was fantastic! I used a corned beef from a local market that they corn themselves.

I've corned my own a few times, and find it's less time consuming to use the corned beef from the market. I was rushed for time and only soaked for 12 hrs, and it was a bit salty. I would soak it for the 48 hrs next time.

Made for some great sandwiches.

I have done the Amazing Ribs version (http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/close_to_katzs_home_made_pastrami.html) a few times and it always comes out great. I highly recommend starting from a brisket and corning it rather than using a store bought corned beef. You will notice a difference.
