@svenddiesel: Pastrami’d Picahna might be the pastrami to date. Texture, flavor, tenderness …. It was all amazing. Here is the brine recipe I used for a 3-4 lb picahna : Ingredients * 1 gallons water (half to boil, half to help cool it down) * ½ cup Morton kosher salt * ¾ cup brown sugar * 1½ tsp pink curing salt #1 * 1½ tsp pickling spice * 1½ tsp black peppercorns * 1½ tsp coriander seed * 2 tsp mustard seed * 6 cloves garlic, smashed * 3 bay leaves * 1 cinnamon stick * ¾ tsp red pepper flakes #pastrami #brine #dyi #asmr
