Pastrami

Red is what we are talking about here.

Black looks more like a beef round corned and seasoned, much leaner, but i wont buy it.

I thought true pastrami was navel.

Made this yesterday and ate it today . So easy and oh so tasty

This turned into a disaster. Followed the recipe and cooked slow at 225F for 6hrs. Ended up with an inedible piece of meat, it was so dry. I truly hate wasting food, especially meat.
The pack leaked and that could have been the issue but for the most part of the 6hrs the pack was almost bursting.

I believe the recipe is wrong.

I'm sorry to say but it was probably user error . I've used this recipe numerous times and it works perfectly. Others here have reported success.
Sorry it didn't work for you.

I just noticed that the recipe does not call for soaking the salt out. Why not?

I didn't soak it, but I did buy a "lower sodium" corned beef when I tried the recipe out of concern that a regular one might end up too salty.
