Soaked this corned beef for 1.5 days and drained the water a few times. Mixed up Meathead’s pastrami rub and modded it from past experience. And rub is well ground.

Will smoke this to 170° and then rest it. Maybe 175°, depending how it feels.

Corned beef is in a pot simmering.

And I’m about to make some potato knishes.

Filling for the knishes is made. I boiled the potatoes in the residual corned beef water. Flavor is flavor.

Then smashed them, added SP and ground parsley and then added in 1.5 sautéed onions. Flavor is on point.

Open a restaurant so we can all come and eat.
You’re the second person that’s said this in a week. Not going to happen though. Owning a restaurant is very hard business and all you’re really doing is making the landlord rich by paying for their building.

Lmk when you’re coming up here. We should do a cook for us NorCal peeps. There’s a few of us around here.
 
The was a point brisket cut corned beef turned into a pastrami. Soaked for 1.5 days with 4 water changes total. 4.5 hours smoke grill time and around 25 minutes in the oven, covered in a foil pan. Then sliced up. Tender but not shredded. Very happy with the results. Would utilize this method again.

Hot dang......
You are killing it again.....love it.

I wasn't ready to make this or similar for myself this year due to being overly busy.....
I tried to get that while out on Sunday but I tell you, there was not any places in my town that was cooking it and I only found one place with a live musician and his music was not Irish themed at all......
I had a disappointing day all in all to be honest......I celebrate every year.
 
I don't think I ever tried a knish, is there anything similar like from an eastern European ( Polish, Lithuanian ) recipe.?
 
Great cook Brett and great pictures. Almost makes me want to chuck my Instant Pot........Almost. ;)
But I'll just wait for warmer drier days instead.

Polish peroshki is similar. You’d find these in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and what is modern day Russia.
