Pastrami help

[bob]

I am going to try and make some Pastrami and would appreciate any suggestions you might have.  The recipe that I have found calls for using an already corned beef.  I figure with St Paddy day aproaching I will be able to get some at a good price.  I plan on using a black pepper and corieander rub.

Have any of you guys tried this and/or have another suggestion.

Thanks-  Bob

Well in spite of no responce from the group, I went ahead and did it and it worked pretty good.  I just wish that the corned brisket had a little more marbled fat to make a more juicy result.

One thing I did different than my original post was to steam the smoked brisket for about 3 hours after smoking to further tenderize the meat.

Made some black Russian bread and the sandwiches are great!

Anybody out there
