Just made this! Absolutely validates Chef John’s claim that this technique will beat any supermarket offering. I was able to slice it thick and it was still tender as well as flavorful. I didn’t have grape seed oil on hand, so I substituted avocado oil instead, otherwise I followed the instructions to the letter. My picky grandchildren loved it as well. Thank you for a recipe that I will continue to use often...
I love your American food videos, the translating into UK terminology adds to the entertainment, A Skillet, a broiler and even your corned beef have different names or are something totally different here in the UK non the less the recipes are ace!
You may want to consider putting a couple of slices of Swiss Cheese with the Dark Rye Bread & a Kosher Garlic Dill Pickle. Give it a try. Great recipe!
This seems like the easiest method yet. I usually buy 2 cornbeefs St Patricks day. One reg.+ one to make pastrami.Can't wait to try this out. Thankyou for speedy advice!
There is beauty in every language spoken well, especially through tongue and cheek.. Listening to you sir is also feasting colloquially.. You digest words as would an artist stroking pepper lemon in their palette, is the same way, I see through my palates.. "No matter how boardeline or inappropriate it may feel", the moment when the Fatside went up, I was having a party...
I slow smoke this on my grill when briskets go on sale. Its so good! my first year I made 1, the second I tweeked and gave samples, 4yrs in and I have orders coming in
Oh, one other thing, i like pastrami on rye with mustard also, but one way i like it even better is on rye with room temperature irish butter instead of the mustard. If you can't get irish butter, just use a good unsalted butter, Wisconsin's is very good. Do not knock it if you haven't tried it because it is delicious. Spread the butter on both pieces of rye from edge to edge, trust me.
Looks like a great recipe. Down in the south where a hot kitchen is only welcoming in winter, Instant pot pastrami is our go to recipe. Basically the same spice rub. Used a tad of diluted stubbs liquid smoke & brown sugar for precook rub. Fat side up cook...Only takes 55 minutes! Let cool.rub in a tad of molasses then cover generously with spice rub. Wrap up and store in lower rack of fridge for at least 24 hrs ...3 days better. Unwrap set oven at 275' heat for 30-45 minutes fat side down. Remove let rest or slice. Great with horseradish mustard or mayo & horseradish & dill pickle! Cheers... Cheers
Chief John; You are da bomb! So wonderful to see you making the food the star of your presentations So many love to perform for their presentations. I love the way you voice over your presentation, you make your food talk, so easy to follow and so entertaining I will be a constant follower and lover your recipes
I put this in my Masterbilt smoker for 3 hours at 250, then into an oven on a rack and covered over water to steam for another 2 hours. Love the rub Chef, perfect flavor
This is the exact question was going to ask about. I will be using the smoker all weekend so I was thinking about doing the same process for 230 for six hours
@@pantryonlyrecipes smoke it for 1-2 hours, then wrap it with beef broth for another 1-2 hours to get that NYC steam effect, you will be much happier with the outcome. I have done 7 or 8 pastramis this way and it comes out much better and moister. The 3 hour smoke was a bit dry. Cook at 200 to 250 maximum, I am doing a video on this very soon🙏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🍻
@@pantryonlyrecipes yes, wrap it tight like a brisket with about 6 ounces of broth or Campbells consume and finish cooking for an hour or 2, then let it rest and cool for an hour or 2, open the package and tent the top for another hour and the crust sticks. You will get some crumbling if you have a thick crust, but the coriander and pepper will hold to the meat
Ok Chef John, I just made this, I cooked it at 225 for 6 hrs. let it cool down and put it in the Fridge. Going to dust it with more rub and finish it off under the broiler. Hope it comes out as good as yours. (8 hours later) My pastrami came out great. warmed it on a flat on BBQ grill, but maybe next time a little less pepper. it was incredibly tender and succulent.
I tried two methods of making pastrami. This way and the instant pot method/oven method. This recipe is definitely the way to go! Honestly, Chef John hasn’t failed me yet. 6 hours of that dry rub really getting into the meat and that low heat working hard to tenderize the meat over time, the long wait was definitely worth it. Is it Katz’s? No. But will it give Katz’s a run for its money? Also no. This is the best homemade pastrami though!
omg. hello. how did it take me so long to find you. OH man. you are very quickly going to become one of my favorite you tubers. awesome laid back home cooking by a very interesting and charismatic confident cook! yay!
3:30 - "Now, you can eat this cold, but that would make you insane" - This made me laugh. I am wrestling if the fact someone would eat cold pastrami would categorize them as insane, or if the actual act of eating cold pastrami would turn you insane.
I made some reubens tonight following this recipe with bovarian sauerkraut (a little sugar, ground fennel, butter, and onion powder) cooked till browned. Imported swiss! on Jewish rye. OMG Best reuben I have ever made!
This is awesome. I haven't been able to get any pastrami from my local grocery store since the pandemic. They do have corned beef brisket though. I'm definitely going try this! Thank you so much!
I'm a expat living in India. I haven't had pastrami since a visit to Dallas in June 2016.i would have helped you finish off your largese and washed the dishes and took out the trash. Keeping it"real real ""🙂
I found a huge brisket in the store around St Patricks that was labeled $4 for some reason among all the $15+ cuts. I didn't wanna do the regular corned beef so I smoked that puppy for 15hrs real low and yes it was amazing even compaired to the NYC delis. Dont be afraid to try this out it's awesome!
I've got several corned beef briskets sitting in my freezer than I haovd no idea what to do with (tired of having it was cabbage). This is awesome! Can't wait to make it over the weekend.
When I was a teenager, my Dad introduced me to a local "Sub Sandwich" shop in town. The sandwich I fell in love with was their Hot Pastrami Sub. They had this relish that they used that my Mother talked them out of the recipe for. It was called "Lindbergh Relish", which was cabbage, carrots, onions, and spices (rather than a pickle-based relish). Kinda sounds weird. Does NOT work on hamburgers or hotdogs...but it is the PERFECT thing on hot pastrami!
I'm serving Rueben sandwiches tonight for dinner using but corned beef. Next time I'll try converting a corned beef into pastrami using your method it looks good!
Chef John, I just made this this week using a Montreal smoked meat style rub. It's not as good as Schwartz's but it's better than I can get here in Albany. Thanks.
raedwulf61 The actual effort is fairly small and takes little time. Granted, oven and refrigerator time is about 30 hours, but you don't have to watch it.
To follow the method used by Katz's Deli in NY, it will take you a minimum of two days longer than this. And requires a smoker and a steamer. Everything is relative. If you start from a fresh brisket, it takes a minimum of nine days. But this method would take seven, because the other five days is spent corning the beef.
I make mine from scratch all the time. Involves making a brine with all the seasonings and Prague powder, brining a whole brisket for 8-10 days, removing it, draining it and cleaning off the spice mix, seasoning it with mustard, coriander seed, and coarse black pepper, and then slow cooking it for around 8-12 hours (I've tried smoking it, it's just not my thing). While I'm sure Chef John's recipe is fine, when you make it from scratch by yourself, you'll really appreciate just how good home made pastrami can be (or you can go full corned beef seasoning), and you'll never buy another pre-packaged corned beef again.
I've never seen 'corned beef' that looks like that before (ie like steak). The only corned beef I know is the stuff that comes in tins. He says "Quick and easy" at the end, LOL, seriously?!
Xavier Mettle Supermarkets around NYC do carry cured raw corn beef. Easy to find around St Patricks day, and through out the year, but it's not something available always, like, hot dogs.
"Corned beef" simply means it has been brined in a mixture large grained rock salt ("corns"). Obviously this works as a preservative, hence it was canned and used as a troop ration during the great war. Most real delis and butchers carry it.
1337flight Smoked paprika does not magically turn a brisket into pastrami. I've commented here several times and NEVER does John reply. I see he doesn't reply to a lot of people. He should realize, if it weren't for contributors to his videos, his channel wouldn't be what it is. Pretty self centered and unappreciative if you ask me. 'Hey everyone watch my videos so I can make money and I won't reply to comments or answer questions, I'M CHEF JOHN!' SNOB
lolol ok He makes free videos we get to watch them for whatever reason we want and he makes $(or add block). If he thought we would stop watching because he doesn't reply he would reply. everybody and everything is based of of greed and self fulfillment... second i mean its well seasoned brisket that simulates the look and taste of pastrami... lets just call it pastrami or not i guess more accuracy in language is better but its also true that over specification of language makes it harder to communicate efficiently... take your pick i guess.......... also we are all snobs its just where we see the cut of of respectable......
Xelbiuj LOL! Are you in grade school? Who calls people a faggot anymore? And "I'm the stupid one"?? Grow up! Now I'm going to go make 'fake pastrami' out of tuna fish..........dumb ass
I printed the recipe from the blog, finally found a print link, just one page with a little photo! Somebody commented they got a brisket and ended up with roast beef. Be sure to get a CORNED beef brisket. They usually come in heavy sealed plastic with juices, especially St. Paddy's Day, but often year round. They keep for quite awhile in the fridge. Do not freeze them.
I freeze them all the time. I get them on sell during St Patrick's week. Take them out of the wrapping, wash them off and vacuum seal them. They have turned out great year round.
Chef John, I enjoy your channel. Very informative and entertaining. I've seen a number of videos on turning a regular corned beef into a pastrami and they all talk about rinsing and changing the water to get rid of the saltiness of the meat. Your thoughts?
This video was down right cruel to watch since pastrami is one of my all time fav sandwich and it looked so GOOD! What's really stupid is I didn't even know pastrami came from corned beef, I never even thought about it. Thanks for educating me!
I’m going to try this Sous-vide this weekend. I’ve done corned beef that way before and it was awesome so it can only get better! (I did 135f for 50 hours for the corned beef)
I've made this pastrami and it really was delicious....I made my own coleslaw (you tube) and added a half-hour pickle...Try steaming the pastrami in a colander in a pot of boiling water.....ooohhhh YUMMY.......
Thanks for this really enjoyed it. I have always wondered where Pastrami comes from I am off to the supermarket to get a cornbeef to try this one morning. 6 hours aaa wow. gonna try it anyway THANKS!!
Anyway, that is really allot. Sometimes I feel guilty for baking something 30 minutes. But I really like your recipes! I've cooked some delicious dinners for people with your help
Take it to the next level and steam the next day until it falls apart. Use to do that in my deli it will melt in your mouth. Quick recipe use to take me a week to make it with the marination process.
