Poor Man's Pastrami

[pushbutton]

Finally got around to smoking a corned beef. The day after St. Patty's day i picked up a couple point cut brined in the bag for 1.87 lb. I soaked it over night to remove some of the sodium and did a slow cook for about 7 hours, with only a few hours of smoke.Have made breakfast hash, open faced reubens, and a fried up strips like bacon for a BLT substitute.

If that's poor mans pastrami, I must be a pauper. Heheheee. I hope you have a little left because a reuben pizza is the absolute bomb. A little Thousand Island for the sauce, some kraut, cheese, green onion, and pastrami. Serve with pickles and yellow mustard.

Did you just soak it in water to get the salt etc out? I love corned beef except for the high salt just keeps me from eating it. Thanks Looks great.

Jeffreyd, yes, it still is rather salty, but does help a lot. I can't handle the sodium like i used too either.

Thirdeye, as usual, you make me hungry. I don't have any left, but following your lead just made a home

made pizza!
