How to Make Pastrami | Cure & Smoke

[@ChuckCanada1]

That juice that is still left in that foil is magic juice, to anyone at home without much cooking experience. I know some people might just get rid of it without knowing any better, you can toss that juice on the bread that you make your sandwich with and really bring the flavor up to a whole new level. Really the possibilities are limitless.

[@StevXtreme]

Can be reduced and used as a gravy with outstanding results, as well.

[@jonathanLara1989]

ChuckCanada indeed my friend

[@jmarth523]

Dip your fingers in it and flick it onto your food for flavor

[@tonyb3203]

I think people with more experience tend to throw things away. I have now professional experience and I save everything.

[@terpusatsatu8845]

Are u a chef?

[@MYNEWMOKE]

I love that advise at the end. "lets be good to one another" spot on my friend. great vid!

I need a pastrami on dark Russian rye NOW!!!!!!!!! Brother you just made my tummy rumble.

[@nickgeorgie1957]

You are the Michelangelo of the bbq: just one step away from Leonardo. You show, you explain, you prove, you teach. That’s KZbin. Thank you. You are a pleasure to learn from. I would have been proud to call you “my friend”.

[@Nextbesthing81]

Only 2 bbq channels u need to follow...Chef Tom here @ atbbq and Malcolm Reed @ How to bbq right. Very informative and give great details about what to do. For a person learning to bbq, these 2 guys will put u on the right track.

[@Nextbesthing81]

Tylor Miranda yes, they say franklin is the best but i plan on going to texas for a bbq crawl to judge for myself. I cannot believe that texas bbq is the best in the country while only using salt and pepper. I have tried it on my own bbq and it tasted plain. My briskets did not taste great until i started injecting and/marinating them for a day. From what I've seen, i would rely on chef tom, malcolm reed and pit boys before Franklin.

[@timothymarcus7645]

Nextbesthing81 I agree!!

[@CooldaddyBBQ]

Nextbesthing81 total agree.

[@pavey77]

Yous should check out (smoky ribs bbq) on you tube them 2 plus him are the top 3

[@josephguidry3540]

I would throw in BBQ Pit Boys also. They were one of the first bbq channels on KZbin

[@Michael-ez3zg]

Years ago, I went to a diner and ordered a Pastrami Sandwich. After eating it, I called my server and told him I wished to speak to the Manager. When the manager came over, I told the manager this is the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had in NJ (Hazlet on Rt 35). I told him it was greasy and delicious, the way god intended it to be. His response was something to the effect of "You really know how to live". Not sure if that is true but I appreciated his response. Please note I have never asked for the manger to complain. I simply just don't go back. (With the exception of the one I had at Katz's Delicatessen, on the house, it was exceptional)

[@CowboyCree63]

It's so interesting to see the difference between your first pastrami video, and this one. Your confidence in front of the camera is leaps and bounds better!

[@alkalinenator]

Followed his recipe. Came out as my wife would say Flippin Awesome. Thanks for the inspiration will be making many more. It blows KATZ's Deli away

[@Focused-ni9qh]

He said “I’m not going to wait that long!” Right on brother!

[@lightonia]

I’ve made this recipe so many times and have blown everyone away by how good it is every time. Thank you so much for this!

[@Momzie808]

WOW!! I finally made my pastrami aka your recipe, and let me tell you the flavor was so on point! I’m still trying to get the temperature at 250 to smoke but still learning the process, I refrigerated mines because I started it so late and it was the BOMB!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@guyellis9095]

Advice maybe, do not try try to cook at 250 c and then refriderate to make it a zero

[@MaxwellBenson80]

I love pastrami! That's got to be the best looking one I've ever seen! Looks amazing!

[@beerbrewer737]

"Pastrami perfect. I love pastrami." Classic!

[@photofire100]

A non-traditional Thanksgiving needs a non-traditional meal. Today we are smoking a Corned Beef Brisket. Thank you chef Tom for the tips. Also a giant thank you to your camera crew for always providing excellent video, lighting and editing skills. HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone, from Simi Valley, CA.

[@jefferygray5948]

Off the chain my man. This was my last challenge on my smoking list. Excellent instruction and presentation. Thanks!!

[@fredbecker607]

Watching this December 2020. Remembering the good old days of outdoor block parties.

[@scarredface2684]

Commenting this on December 2023 enjoying the BBQ and block parties cheers

[@joshwinters6249]

That was a work of art, well done Chef Tom

[@giwookoh5381]

Maybe the first time to see you smile that big. Absolutely loved the video!

[@imkadosh]

Oh my God! I am in love with this recipe. I can see how the knife cuts through like butter in that pastrami. Thank you for this recipe. Sometime in my life I will make it.

[@dannywhiteness4744]

Man...... that looks amazing. You truly are a master when it comes to that smoker.

[@havocproltd]

DUDE!! I'm 9 hours into a double pork butt smoke for a party tomorrow. Now, all i want to do is make pastrami!! Nice work! Very nice production! Kudos to your DP AND your audio wonk!

[@robertholtz]

Outstanding work, Chef. There is much love in your labor. Just wish I could reach into the display and grab a slice to taste it. Can't wait to see you make that Reuben! Cheers.

[@ohdogwow2]

I see another Fresh Baked Muffin has found this channel. :)

[@robertholtz]

ohdogwow2 Guilty as charged! Fancy finding a fellow Muffin here. This is a really great channel too. I highly recommend subscribing.

[@mlt6322]

Reuben's are best with Corned Beef where as Pastrami is used for making Cloak & Daggers. Basically the same sandwich except a Reuben has Sauerkraut and dressing & a Cloak & Dagger has Coleslaw without the Thousand Island or Russian dressing. Personally all the pepper on Pastrami kills a Reuben's taste. But that's my opinion.

[@jlkohel911]

"man I love pastrami" rofl love your vids Tom, keep it up!

[@bradfuller2454]

I made one following your exact instruction(briner bucket included) it was awesome!!! Now my kids want more

[@rickf.9253]

What would you change in that cook if you wanted to steam it like they do in the delis? Not wrap it, and steam it slowly when you get the desired color on the smoker, or steam it after cooking it as shown? Thank Chef, another awesome cook, as always!

[@nathanwahl9224]

Steam it after, don't think you'll pick up any color when steaming. In the good delis it's actually cooled down overnight and steamed the next day, I believe.

[@trevorb555]

Ellie Goulding is the jam to make pickling spice

[@t908kenworth]

Hands down your the best BBQ cook on KZbin that ive seen man you make me hungry. Watching from Australia 👍👍👍

[@michaeleverson3801]

I would happily fork over $15+ to a sandwich shop offering a Reuben with slices that thick and expertly crafted. Well done!

[@moleratical1232]

10 bucks for a smoked turkey/pastrami combo ruben at my local BBQ joint, holy shit the deliciousness is indescribable. and they don't skimp on the meat either. I reckon they trow about a 1/2 pound of each in there. Nice and thick cut too, just like in this video.

[@DisrespectfulRob]

Sam Lagrassa’s next time your in Boston.

[@jwon2889]

I just payed $25 for a pastrami on rye at the the flying fig in Adelaide ... worth every penny

[@takethedayoff7376]

Chef Tom, i just seen your first pastrami vid from 4yrs ago and compared to this, its like tube tv to 4k. Progress! Keep up the great work

[@karinecarde1254]

The end product is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!!! You are SUCH an inspiration to me. Thank you so MUCH for all the knowledge you share with us 🙏👌💗🥰😁😘

[@joecarl9353]

Thanks Tom, I always enjoy your videos. I learn a lot. My wife's favorite deli meat is pastrami so I will be the hero.

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@rolandsalazar9562]

I Love your smoking & grilling tutorials. You're informative, concise and mellow. All the tools needed to be a great pit master and video host. Thanks for the info and keep it coming. I'm in for the long haul.

[@Abc-tu9ry]

👌👌👌 I’m so far away from home, USA, on overseas assignment that when I watch this video, I can just taste your pastrami in my mouth. 👍👍👍. Hats off!!!

[@texasbelliott]

Holy moly that had a mouth water factor of 10! Great job, I like this technique better than waiting 20+ days for a brine.

[@stephenkopels]

What a great video… fantastic professional production and wonderful host. Thanks so much

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@kzgc8y3n]

[@allthingsbbq]

That just made our day! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for being a part of our community!

[@TheRocknrolla12]

One or the greatest beef preparation In our 6000yr History....PASTARAMI

[@Totallyarealpersonbro]

You almost convinced me to get a smoker. Made a couple no-smoked pastramis and they're delicious but yours does have that magic glow.

[@allantow6371]

Great job!!! You've really captured the essence of preparing great pastrami.

This is among the BEST VIDEOS on KZbin!!!

Wow, perfection! This is the first video I saw of your channel, you got my sub and my likes from here on out. Time to take a deep dive on all your videos! MAMA HOLD MY SMOKER, I'M GOING IN!!

[@wb3123]

I am going to try and make my own Pastrami with a smaller brisket using your recipe Chef Tom. Wish me luck!

[@scotthollon3016]

That looked phenomenal..now I'll have to go buy a second brisket and get started for next weekend.

[@lawrencesullivan3740]

Ok, made this recipe today. It turned out incredible. Gave away four sandwiches to the neighbors and it was a hit. Thanks for the recipe. I would post pictures if I could.

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@kyleaujay9482]

Absolutely love this video! Yall should do a few more fun videos with the offset! That's what I cook on! Rock on!

[@GregariousAntithesis]

I keep coming back to your marinade. It works great and i do half recipe always in large Ziplock. Its now time i write it down in my phones notes instead of watching over and over

[@smalam6126]

MashaALLAH MashaALLAH may ALLAH bless you for the first time ever I watched a video of pastrami like this

[@RightOnTheFace]

that's awesome. My first Pastrami will go the pit tomorrow, after 9 days on brine (full recipe from this channel). Looking forward to it

[@JavaRatusso]

Great Tutorial! That did indeed look perfect! I love Pastrami, Corned Beef And smoked Beef Brisket also. Thanks for your experienced tips! Liked and subbed

[@ricktatum]

Thank you very much for showing how to make pastrami from scratch, I was always curious about the seasonings that were used.

[@chefdomin8er]

Wow bro, Great Video! Your pastrami looks amazing. That music in the beginning was hilarious! 🤣😂

[@CatalinaMcpherson-s6q]

Great job!!! You've really captured the essence of preparing great pastrami.. Great job!!! You've really captured the essence of preparing great pastrami..

[@goody869]

Wow! That looks phenomenal!

[@brianpage1886]

Your Pastrami video stands out as it is the only one where every step made perfect sense to me. Your explanation of the process is very good, and you obviously 'thought out' every ingredient and every detail of the method very carefully. After watching so many 'home cook' pastrami videos where they were adding salt to their brine, brining, desalting then adding salt to the final rub your video was an absolute pleasure to watch. I have stockpiled all of the ingredients you recommend and will be making your recipe over the weekend. Thank you very much! PS. Thanks for the foil tip, as butcher paper seems to be in vogue now and it could be potentially be used where it is not the best solution.

Barbecue was my favorite. This channel will be my number 1 priority 😊😊❤️

[@high_pressure_force_34]

It's gorgeous!! Thank you!

[@bobboyoop1141]

Thanks for doing a flat cut only! So many pastrami videos are entire briskets... My local grocery chain with full service meat counter has a 2 day sale on whole brisket this weekend at $2.99/lb. I want some pastrami for next week after curing but I want to do the point traditional Texas style this weekend. Perfect video for my needs!

[@markschemers3132]

looks amazing. Can't wait for the Reuben! that along with a Cloak and Dagger are my favorites!

[@bobjenkins4606]

Whats a cloak and dagger? Cocktail?

[@allthingsbbq]

We thought, "at least it's good music and not some lame 'white man's blues.'" :)

[@mszrestorationandcontracti3290]

I have to say, you present really well. I like the linking for prep so you don't go through that process if someone has done it already. I like to tip on what to look for, like, "we see it's pink all the way through, which means it's cured". Simple thing but to a newer person, it helps to have the visual so you know. You are clear and demos are together. I like a more stable or locked off camera, not the MTV movement in and out. Thanks, Carl

What's LEM's?

[@frvnkliu]

it was the brand that makes the salt with sodium nitrate that they mentioned in the video

[@scottcoombe9979]

Bought a packer brisket last weekend. Took the point off and cooked it. Delicious. Made your burnt end pot pie with the leftovers. Also excellent. The flat we threw into a brinner bucket and we are making pastrami tomorrow. I am super excited. Unfortunately I am cooking on an electric smoker. Yoder is coming for Christmas. Can’t wait to see how different the results are going to be.

I remember a trip the wife and I took to Montreal years ago, and everywhere we went, they served 'smoked meat sandwiches' which appear to be very similar to what you've made here. We just had them on white bread with mustard...I still have fond memories...

[@texasbelliott]

I needed a bib while watching this video. I drooled down my shirt. How embarrassing.

[@bignorge]

It took 4 years and 3 months for me to see this video? OUTSTANDING! This pastrami has got to get IN MY FACE this coming weekend!

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@soonfamous]

Maybe I am totally wrong but isn’t pastrami supposed to have a crust on the outside? This looks amazing but more of a brisket though.

[@mathewgonz]

Abraam Georgiadis I think that’ll happen after it cools down. Since it just got out of the heat it’s still soft.
