Walmart Brisket

[Rich Langer]

Here is the source that I use for making pastrami

I usually start with a corned beef brisket point

I'm too lazy to cure my own briskets so I always use corned beef. However, I always use flats, not points -- I think they slice up better. I use three parts freshly ground pepper, one part coriander and a few sprinkles of garlic powder and onion powder.

I almost always throw one of these one when I fire up the smoker, just because I love pastrami so much. I slice it as thinly as I can with a sharp knife but I really should get a mandoline to do the trick.

I went to WalMart last Saturday looking for a brisket. They had them, of course, but all of them were enhanced with up to 8% solution. I could have sworn that they used to not have enhanced beef briskets. I skipped it and got a flat at Sam's instead.

From what I've seen the trimmed flats are enhanced and the full packers aren't at Walmart.
