Fauxstrami Friday

I smoked two chunks of corned beef that I bought around St. Patrick's Day. Soaked in water overnight to remove some of the saltiness. Rubbed with coarse black pepper, coarse ground coriander, garlic powder, a little paprika and light brown sugar and refrigerated for two days. Smoked at 250-275*F with three chunks of pecan for 5 hours, then wrapped in foil and cooked for just another hour until 190-200*F internal. Removed from WSM and let drop to 170*F before slicing.

Very peppery! I might back off on the amount of rub applied next time, but on a sandwich with spicy brown mustard and some cheese, it's not overwhelming. And the dry pastrami burnt edges...out of bounds!

Chris;
It looks perfectly cooked! I believe that faux Pastrami is one of the best things we can do on our smokers. I flat LOVE it (actually, I prefer the point corned beef to start with but yours looks as good as it gets).

Keep on smokin',
