Denny O’s. Brisket into Pastrami

@dennyo I would just like to have one & minimal humidity to boot. No home brined brisket this year, prices have gone beyond ridiculous. Just store bought corned beef, & I will also smoke a pastrami, unfortunately this year. We have another batch of kraut in Andrew’s closet fermenting & just finished a pepper ferment for hot sauce. Blanched & froze up two bushels of collards yesterday & Margaret gave them all away today. We still have more coming in the garden, but probably no more cold snaps, certainly not like night before last. That wiped out a lot of things, except for weeds it seems. We gotta learn how to eat weeds. We also had a good bunch with the beans & BBQ from last week. I am supposed to do some buttermilk, cream cheese, & Bulgarian yogurt, but have not been able to get to it yet.
I have a card to Sams and I have a very good friend that has a Costco card. I asked him tonight If we could go shopping, I need two Prime grade briskets. Do you have any idea what their going price is?
I’ve got to buy cabbage for my kraut too. I always wait until this time of year because it is the cheapest Ell, I don’t know why, we are only talking about a few cents right? LOL.
I cannot do hot sauce anymore, it makes me start my period.
Weeds, well I’d like a bit of collards. I’ve had dandelion greens, Milkweed (only in the spring, later in the year they are poisonous), plantain, stinging nettles, lambs quarter, and another one that escapes my mind. Now mind you these were all in the spring.
@dennyo Sam’s here was cheapest & not Prime, just Choice at 7.48 per pound for a packer, could not find any flats or points & they would typically been much higher. Flat out ridiculous. No Costco hear, but my brother in Houston likes them better.
We buy some cabbage for kraut & grow some too. All of our Irish Day cabbage will be home grown.
Yes, when I was a kid & a young man we used to eat & drink some of those weeds with no issues. Now they are pretty much banned I understand. Sassafras fresh from one of me & my wife’s property, Poke Salad the same, & Blue Violet some others. Have tried the Dandelion & stinging nettle, but never the milkweed or Elderberry.

Thanks @DennyO-s for the herbs and process. I did everything the same up until the cook. This time I sous vide it for 20 hours at 160 and then rested it an ice bath and then fridge overnight. My guinea pig neighbors tasted the product with two thumbs up. It has a nice pepper bite and very tender. Thanks to all of you for the guidance.
zbigjeff that looks awesome.

Ok I cheaped out. Took a corned beef flat and rinsed a few times over 2 days. Dried and seasoned with coarse ground peper(thought it was cracked pepper.) Garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Put it in the smoker for 4 hours @225. Moved to a pan of broth and red wine covered and cooked untill 205. Moved from the pan back on the grate for 15 minutes to dry the bark. Removed from heat and let cool before slicing.
Note to self: ground is not cracked and pepper is hot!. But had great flavor.

zbigjeff If you didn’t smoke it, then it is just a re-seasoned corned beef. It is the smoking that really changes the corned beef into pastrami.
Irregardless you may have stumbled on to a new flavor, call it “Z Big Jeff” sandwich! Chef you made it your own, nice job!!

@dennyo-s I did smoke it for 5 hours. Just didn’t get that deep dark crust. But, the smoke really came through in the end.

@dennyo-s Pulling chains is what we do. But, I did ID the incorrect person. Now, harmony is within the universe.

@dennyo-s In my world, I believe that when possible, give credit where credit is due. Sometimes we all forget where the thought came from. But, when I remember, I’ll shove it their way. Some people think it’s weak to not take credit. Those people should steer clear of me. You’re Welcome.

samspade What a nice cut of beef that you “dressed UP”. Love having that cracked pepper HIT.
zbigjeff thank you sir.

Man I should have spent more before St. Patrick’s day. Corned beef was $2.98 for a 4 lb. Package. Today it was 4.59 /lb.

I have a pastrami on now. From a cured prime brisket. I referenced this recipe.
Smoked 6.1 hrs until 153 and hit the stop. Was just going to go to 165 per Marianski but remembered to come back here and check…doh! 203! So I wrapped it in foil x2 with quarter cup of apple sauce and stuffed it in my airfryer oven. Ive got my Smoke x4 wifi remote alarm set for 203… hope it wakes me up.
–didnt take that long once wrapped, 1 hr. In cooler resting now.
