Pastrami Presentation, Other than Sandwhich..?

Hi,

I'm thinking of doing a fresh pastrami cook.  I've been reading some interesting posts about sous vide followed by smoking on the egg that look interesting.

Anyway, I'm looking for in an interesting way to serve or present pastrami for a dinner with guests.  Sandwiches are clearly an option, as is simply eating it on a plate like brisket or something.

Has anyone seen or invented something more interesting than those two options?  I saw a website about "pastrami not sandwiches in new york" or something, but it's a bunch of silly stuff that would mask the flavor of the pastrami.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Have sliced and put out lik a cheese / charcuterie board with a few mustards, rye points, etc.

    my favorite non sandwich is making hash with pastrami and sweet potatoes (cooked like country breakfast potatoes) with a couple of runny eggs on top.

    Can be done with cabbage and potatoes like corned beef.

    Yes.  Forgot that I've done pizza before, made a beer/mustard sauce base as I recall.  Chopped pickles, shredded Swiss.  Could even go with some kraut.

    FYI, sauerkraut is a very easy homemade process.  Like pastrami, it's an "active time x; total time 50x" exercise, but just requires cabbage, salt and time.

    I think a pastrami calzone would be awesome.

    Pastrami Hash instead of corned beef
    Eggs Benedict with pastrami
    Pastrami with potato latkes

    And not quite making it the "star" but it would probably be awesome inside ABTs as well

     Beat me to it - these are superb.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
