DELICIOUS BEEF BRISKET PASTRAMI RECIPE

There is nothing that can beat the flavor of a slow cooked beef brisket, except for a slow cooked beef brisket pastrami sandwich. This recipe can be used for a main coarse like a corned beef dinner, but better. Then it can also be used for the most amazing sandwiches for days afterwards.

Beef Brisket Pastrami Brine Mix

1 Seven Pound Flat Cut Beef Brisket 6 Quarts of Water 1 ½ Cups of Kosher Salt ¾ Cup of Sugar 2/3 Cup of Brown Sugar 1 ½ Teaspoon of Pink Curing Salt 1 Tablespoon of Pickling Spice 1 Teaspoon Mustard Seed 2 Tablespoons of Minced Garlic

Beef Brisket Pastrami Spice Rub Mix

¼ Cup of Coarse Ground Black Pepper ¼ Cup of Brown Sugar 2 Tablespoons of Onion Powder 1 Tablespoon of Ground Red Pepper 1 Teaspoon of Thyme 2 Tablespoons of Granulated Garlic 1 Teaspoon of Ground Mustard 1 Tablespoon of Ground Fennel Seed In a large pot, combine the water, salt, sugar, brown sugar, curing salt, pickling spice, mustard seed, and garlic. Let it simmer over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. until the sugar and salt completely dissolve. Pour the brine into a large roasting pan and let cool, then refrigerate until chilled. Trim fat cap to less than 1/3 inch. Poke holes all over the brisket, and place into the brine in the roasting pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Keep the brisket submerged by weighting it down with a heavy plate. Keep the meat submerged in the brine and refrigerate for 5 days, turning it over once each day. After five days, take out the brisket and pat dry with paper towels. Place your brisket with the fat side up on a wire rack setup over a baking sheet to let the salt brine drip and drain out of the meat. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 hours. Take the brisket out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature to prepare to cook. Preheat your Pellet grill on the super smoke setting if you are using a Zgrills pellet grill, or on other grills on a temp of 185. Cover all sides of the brisket with the remaining spice rub ingredients. Place the brisket on the grill with the fat side up. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat. Smoke on the grill for one hour on the low heat super smoke setting, and then turn up the heat to 225°F. Leave on the grill until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160°F, which will take another two to four hours. Spritz or spray apple juice on the meat for added flavor, and to keep it moist, every hour until the meat is done. Remove the brisket, now we can call this smoked deliciousness our pastrami, from the grill and wrap in aluminum foil. Add a half a cup of apple juice. Place it back on the grill and reinsert the temperature probe. Continue cooking on the grill until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 204°F, which will take another 3 to 4 hours. Now we can take the pastrami off of the grill, leaving it wrapped in the foil. Let it rest in the oven (no heat), in a microwave (not turned on), or an ice chest cooler with no ice for an hour or two before slicing. Slice into medium thickness for eating as a main coarse, or thin slices for making pastrami sandwiches.
