I first tried making pastrami almost 20 years ago.
I saw the cheap corned beef at the supermarket and decided it was time to try again.
I keep my expectations low and it turned out better than I hoped. I think an actual meat slicer would help as I can’t really slice deli thin to get the right texture.
This is my method for making beef jerky.
It’s basically my father’s recipe and method, except he made it in the house, in the oven. He didn’t ever get into smoking meat. The choice he made was to get into World War II instead.
