How to Make "Smoked" Corned Beef

Steve Risse I lived upstate (Albany) and I hated the city, too many people, too loud, too smelly…all of it…but MY GOD the food was good and a Pastrami from Katz’s was near the very top of the best food from there!

Jonathon I make a ‘Katz Deli’ style pastrami weekly at the shop. Prepare your corned beef as you normally do. After the initial cure you will need to rinse and hold in clean water overnight. The following day you will want to rub it down with the spice mixture listed below (I’d advise doubling or tripling the recipe) and hold, uncovered on a rack in the fridge for 2-3 days before going to the smoker. I bring mine up to 160 for deli slicing primarily. After smoking, cool and hold in the fridge. To reheat the Katz way you would then steam it until it reaches 190.
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons fresh coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

Joe Hell That sounds amazing, will definitely be trying that! I have another one soaking and this may well be its ultimate fate!

I made some earlier this year with a brisket flat that I found priced incorrectly.

HerbcoFood If mine looks anything like that. I will be sooooo pleased. The 2 day wait in the fridge has now ended and both of the flats are being smoked before going into the sous vide bath tonight. Hoping my lucky stars are bright. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Joe Hell would it be possible to do the corned beef for a boiled dinner ?

Joe Hell I’ve been experimenting to find a good pastrami recipe for a couple of years now. Thank you for posting this! I’m looking forward to trying this as soon as possible! One question though, are you using the point, the flat or the whole packer?

Smoked corned beef in the Montreal Smoke Meat style (slight variance in seasoning and process over the traditional Pastrami)
Dr_Pain I see your problem…you need paper towels.

My last smoked “corned beef”. You can call it that or pastrami, just a corned beef brisket rinsed then coated with coarse black and smoked for eight to 10 hours, then covered and cooked another six to eight hours at 250 degrees to its goodness.

johnsbrewhouse I did the smoke on Thursday. The sous vide on Thursday night through Friday and then the placement in the fridge. The slicing will happen soon. Daughter came in from out if town to get inducted into her college hall of fame for soccer on Sat and a birthday gathering for my 4 yr old grandson on Sunday. That’s enough reason for me to delay the rest of the work.

cdavis Thank you. Yep, I was very proud FOR HER. We did the encouragement and she did the WORK. Then, it was a bonus for the outside birthday party for the 4 yr old grandson. Rain stopped one hour before the party started and waited to rain again 45 mins after the cleanup. Yes, we were blessed in spades.

Joe Hell Cold smoked for 5 hours. Then, placed in the sous bath at 165 for 20 hours because I let the water go below level for about 7 hours. Ramped it back up to 165. Let it chill in the fridge for 5 days because I had family things to do. Took out of the bags (reserving the juice) and the final result of “PULLED PASTRAMI”. I just laughed. Tasted it before packaging it up for further use and OMG on the taste and melt in your mouth goodness. You’re correct that letting it set for at least a day, is a game changer. Never had anything taste like that EVER. Next time, I will watch the water level to only keep it in there for 10 hours so I will be able to slice. But, this mistake is one for the record books. Thanks. NOTE: The original flats picture was posted in a previous post after holding in the fridge for 2 days before smoking post.
