Pastrami Qustions for Thirdeye & Others

I am making pastrami today using Thirdeye's instructions and Bobberqer's rub. A couple of questions. I just took the brisket out of the rinsing bag this morning and applied the rub. How important is it to let the brisket sit in the fridge overnight, as I'd like to cook it today rather than on a busy monday. Second, is pastrami made specifically for cold sandwiches or do you also eat it hot as a meat dish?
Thanks, Pastrami Rookie Scotty

I think that the rest is very important. In curing this step is called equalization, and it basically allows all of the liquids and flavors that were mobile a chance to settle down and distribute. (Kind of like resting a steak before slicing). Rest it as long as you have time to.
In addition to sandwiches or a topping on pizza, I like pastrami as a main meat. I generally make potatoes, carrots and cabbage for sides.
If you have a pressure cooker, don't overlook the pressure finish. It is now my favorite finish method.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery -
