Take a (several) store bought bag(s) of POINT cut corned beef (Pick fattier ones... smoking and steaming renders most fat but non-fatty turn out dry). Soak in a lot of water in the fridge overnight to desalt it some. Now rub with cracked coriander and cracked black pepper. Back in the fridge till the next day. Smoke it @225F till internal is about 165. Back in the fridge overnight or freeze. When you are ready to have the pastrami, (thaw, then) steam it for about 45 minutes. That is the closest you will come to Katz Deli pastrami outside of NYC.

There is a difference, but it is minor, and has to do with the specific quality/deckel cut of the meat Katz uses. If you spend the money for top quality corned beef it is indistinguishable.

Have you ever made corned beef using beef tongue? I love beef tongue sandwiches and corned beef sandwiches. Maybe you can invent something new.

I went to the number one pastrami place in the world and I was very disappointed.

That would be the former Carnegie Deli. RIP.

That would've been fun to go to.

I was talking about Schwartz's in Montreal.

Closest I came was the one at the Mirage in Vegas, which also closed.

“well, it is Canada but the delis there are good”

It’s Montreal.

And bagels are better there too.

It isn’t Ireland Irish rather it’s American Irish. Corned beef was cheap and the Irish poor, which was a lot of them, ate it out of necessity.

I once had a gig where I took color balanced photos for a specialty meat factory. They used the photos in their quality control process.

I walked out of there with as much pastrami as I could carry. (they were going to have to throw it all away.)

I got sick of it after a few days.

I don’t believe so.

The Irish eat bacon, not corned beef.

In NYC, the Irish population learned of corned beef from the adjacent Jewish population.

It is a phenomenon of Irish immigrants to the US.

Both are good. Both work for making variations on the Reuben with.

Deli I go to serves the guts of a Reuben over a potato latke.

Never tried that. It’s really lean, isn’t it? They say a fatty meat works best, but I don’t know if that’s a hard and fast rule.
