Couple Pro tips from a pitmaster: grind all your fat trimmings, put it in a deep pan, throw it in the smoker when you put your brisket in, and render the crap out it. Strain it, and badabing, you’ve got smoked beef tallow, the best cooking oil you’ll ever have. If you want a ✨crunchy bark✨ on your brisket, keep the point attached, and instead of butcher paper wrap, boat the brisket with a double layer of foil, keep the top of the brisket exposed. You’ll have a crunchy top, and the fat from the point will run down and become braising liquid for your lean brisket.

[@sousvideer]

Love pastamis! Looks perfect! If your doing a 6-7 days of brine, you can skip the cure salt to keep it natural. It does preserve the color of the meat, but it's also a preservation chimical ingredient. If you doing an equalibrium brine which takes at least two weeks, then it's very important to us cure salt to prevent any chance of botulism. Anyways, love you style of cooking and demonstration 🙂 BTW, I know that in USA is common to make pastamis from brisket, but you must try other cuts also that, such as eye of round. Middle Eastern pastrami is made from turkey breast wish is one of my kids favorite pastami.

[@thaddeusk]

Even regular salt is a preservation chemical ingredient. Everything is a chemical. Water is a chemical. Pastrami doesn't look correct without the color, and there's nothing wrong with nitrites. You can achieve the same thing by using celery juice, because celery has a ton of nitrates in it (which turns into nitrites when we consume it), but it's still considered healthy anyway. Same with spinach, tons of nitrates. You get significantly more nitrates from a stalk of celery than a few ounces of cured meats (around 1496 ppm vs 32 ppm, respectively) Things with more nitrates than a cured meat: Beets, spinach, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, strawberries. Nitrites in the body actually can be beneficial, too, since they turn intro nitric oxide which can help with lowering blood pressure. It's only when you have too high of concentrations of nitrites that it may increase the chance of cancer, so just eat in moderation, just like anything else. Also, stop fearmongering.

I think prime is probably not what most people would chose. Brine and cooked brisket is an art. It’s something everyone can do, if they have the motivation. When you make stuff on your own, given all the health requirements, you separate yourself from the common consumer. I just broke down two chickens to do chicken adobo. Every part of the chickens are being used. It’s an art and thoughtful understanding of every animal you work with. It’s also an acknowledgement to the animals that we use.

They make it like a California cheesesteak, just with pastrami instead of shaved beef. Definitely going to make my own pastrami as soon as I get a smoker. It's my favorite meat.

[@raullukebenitez7033]

Pastrami cheesesteak, huh? That sounds like something to try 🤤

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

Just a tip from someone who has been doing this for a long time: if you are going to use the point and the flat to make your pastrami, do yourself a favor and make slices progressively thinner from point to flat, as well as making sure you are slicing accross the grain. You get a huge difference in texture and flavor that gives you many more sandwich options. Also, pastrami just might be the perfect meat for a wrap. You gotta try it.

[@TheRealBeardedFetus]

You want the pastrami to hit 205 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit. A quarter inch slice draped over a finger should allow the ends to touch if it is tender enough and still hold together under its own weight, but should pull apart easily with a slight pull. You can also cook the brisket in the smoker then entire time but you'd need to wrap it once it hits about 160 to 165.

Because of how thick brisket is, it should rest for at minimum one hour. Otherwise, it'll be too hot when you slice it and dry out. The pull test looked a little iffy too.
