Elk Pastrami
« on: January 16, 2010, 05:58:36 PM »
I have never been much of a pastrami guy just never had a good pastrami until now I took out a 5 pound elk roast and used Jeanie's Cowgirl's recipe for venison pastrami Thank you Jeanie this is some good stuff i will be making this one again
 i cured the roast for 5 days using Jeanies cure after 5 days i removed from the cure and rinsed and soaked the roast for 2 hours then i got busy so i placed the roast back into the fridge this was thursday night on friday after work i got the roast out and had to do some trimming so i sharpened my knife while doing this i cut my finger layed it wide open about a 2 inch cut and deep so back into the fridge it went
so today i finally got to smoke the pastrami it went into the GOSM propane on 250 i used hickory for smoke and this stuff really turned out great i forgot to season the roast after soaking and before i placed into the smoker it still was great even without the seasoning i will be doing this again here is the pics and recipe 

The cure...this is enough for 5lbs of meat
5 tablespoons Tender Quick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

I mix the cure, rub onto the meat and shake off any excess..
I wrap it and let it cure...this batch cured for 5 days.
Then I soak in fresh water for a couple of hours...
Before smoking, I season it with a mixture of garlic, allspice, crushed juniper berries, onion powder, crushed bay leaves and mustard seeds...

Then put it on the smoker with a bit of hickory...
After smoking, I wrap in foil and fill the pouch with beef broth. It steams a bit and makes sure the pastrami is moist.
I let this sit for at least 30 minutes...

Wow! That looks good.

Just might have to try that...after I do the two porkbutts I have in bacon cure. lol
I was going to do buckboard bacon a couple years ago after one of your posts, but the last one (and the fact that I have my smoker up again) made me get in gear.

Nice job once again Huey.  I just had a pastrami sandwhich for lunch out of some I made a few months back.  Very similar recipe and so easy to make.  I used a recipe out of my meat smoking bible (by Rytek Kutas).

Yes, it is.  I would suggest to anyone wanting to get into smoking/curing meat to buy it.
