I always wondered how Pastrami was made!! I'm not in NY anymore and now I can make it myself! Thank you!
Hey chef Should I smoke this in a pellet smoker instead of the oven method and willl it add a more authentic taste ?
Unfortunatelly it is very dificult to find ready-to-cook brined brisket in southern Italy. Any recipe to make that at home from scratch?
This link works! The link in blog has disappeared FYI
Thank you!
The cornflakes I'm eating while watching this just ain't cutting it
You should eat cornedbeefflakes like me. They do NOT, however go well with milk.
Gewgulkan Suhckitt i read this in chef John's voice
I made this yesterday, and just had it. This is hands down the most delicious thing I've ever made. Chef John. What a legend.
"I find the Pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted, cured meats." --- Vivian, ("Seinfeld").
This seems like the easiest method yet. I usually buy 2 cornbeefs St Patricks day. One reg.+ one to make pastrami.Can't wait to try this out. Thankyou for speedy advice!
I slow smoke this on my grill when briskets go on sale. Its so good! my first year I made 1, the second I tweeked and gave samples, 4yrs in and I have orders coming in
Ok Chef John, I just made this, I cooked it at 225 for 6 hrs. let it cool down and put it in the Fridge. Going to dust it with more rub and finish it off under the broiler. Hope it comes out as good as yours. (8 hours later) My pastrami came out great. warmed it on a flat on BBQ grill, but maybe next time a little less pepper. it was incredibly tender and succulent.
There is beauty in every language spoken well, especially through tongue and cheek.. Listening to you sir is also feasting colloquially.. You digest words as would an artist stroking pepper lemon in their palette, is the same way, I see through my palates..
"No matter how boardeline or inappropriate it may feel", the moment when the Fatside went up, I was having a party...
Just made this! Absolutely validates Chef John’s claim that this technique will beat any supermarket offering. I was able to slice it thick and it was still tender as well as flavorful. I didn’t have grape seed oil on hand, so I substituted avocado oil instead, otherwise I followed the instructions to the letter. My picky grandchildren loved it as well. Thank you for a recipe that I will continue to use often...
Have you been to cooking school chef John? You have truly inspired me to become a Chef
I tried two methods of making pastrami. This way and the instant pot method/oven method. This recipe is definitely the way to go! Honestly, Chef John hasn’t failed me yet. 6 hours of that dry rub really getting into the meat and that low heat working hard to tenderize the meat over time, the long wait was definitely worth it. Is it Katz’s? No. But will it give Katz’s a run for its money? Also no. This is the best homemade pastrami though!
chef john do you have a superpower because i cant stop watching your videos
its these videos that make me choose gaining weight over dieting. omg yum
You may want to consider putting a couple of slices of Swiss Cheese with the Dark Rye Bread & a Kosher Garlic Dill Pickle. Give it a try. Great recipe!
01:32 - "I want you to get all the sides, every nook and cranny, no matter how borderline inappropriate it may look or feel." Lols! John's hilarious.
I accidentally left mine in oven for 9 hours but it still came out incredible!
was it still juicy or a bit dry?
Almost that time of year again when they practically give corned beef away. I think I'm going to buy three this year
3:30 - "Now, you can eat this cold, but that would make you insane" - This made me laugh. I am wrestling if the fact someone would eat cold pastrami would categorize them as insane, or if the actual act of eating cold pastrami would turn you insane.
The former.
H
I've done it. And I'm insane now, sadly.
Oh, one other thing, i like pastrami on rye with mustard also, but one way i like it even better is on rye with room temperature irish butter instead of the mustard. If you can't get irish butter, just use a good unsalted butter, Wisconsin's is very good. Do not knock it if you haven't tried it because it is delicious. Spread the butter on both pieces of rye from edge to edge, trust me.
chef john. this recipe was f***ing dynamite. i made this tonight for my family and everyone loved it everything is just perfect!
fml why am I watching these videos. All I got is ramen noodles right now :/
That looked more than "borderline inappropriate"!!
I nearly fell out of my chair. lol
I like to slide my fingers in and out of the meat crevices and then smell them afterward.
@@elvenmagejr1905 -_-
😆
I ate 2 lbs of COLD pastrami last week. Delicious, but I have no more friends. 😳
lol
You should have invited me over at the beginning of the week. I would have been your friend until the pastrami ran out.
Keeping it real.
Who needs friends when you have pastrami ???
I'm a expat living in India. I haven't had pastrami since a visit to Dallas in June 2016.i would have helped you finish off your largese and washed the dishes and took out the trash. Keeping it"real real ""🙂
Every time I search the interwebs for a great recipe I always find myself @Food Wishes. Just popped mine in the oven.
When life gives you corned beef, turn it into pastrami!
+Nanna Trytek that is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said...
Nanna Trytek i think people need more pastrami in life.
+Sebbington K Karrington VonKrugel Pastrami is life*
Thank you chef John for this recipe......i followed it and OMG!!! Best pastrami EVER!!!
That looks scrumptious !
All it needed was a heap of sauerkraut and swiss cheese.
dagda825 cheeky reuben
New Yorkers will call this blasphemy, but a California Ruben is made with 1000 Island instead of mustard. Both are good.
Needs to be smoked
@@R3dp055um New Yorkers didn't invent this eastern European dish.
Honk
I don't care what they say... This is the best how to video on this subject! Love it!
- Ken in Hawaii 5/2017
Aloha Ken!
As always, I enjoyed. You are a marvel, Chef John.
I love your American food videos, the translating into UK terminology adds to the entertainment, A Skillet, a broiler and even your corned beef have different names or are something totally different here in the UK non the less the recipes are ace!
I’m going to try this Sous-vide this weekend. I’ve done corned beef that way before and it was awesome so it can only get better! (I did 135f for 50 hours for the corned beef)
how did this go?
I made my 1st pastrami on rye cooked with your recipe chef and it turned out great. Thanks for the great recipe.
Corned beef is finally on sale again. I've made at least two of these every year for the last 3 years and I'm not stopping now
Pickles ARE mandatory !! lol nice vid; thx
OMG will do.. Bought a couple for St Patis day.. cooked with cabbage and Potatoes.. Will make deli pastrami with other one,, Delicious,,
but he's providing an easy way to make pastrami. if you don't like this recipe, why are you here again? gtfo.
Just finally finished the whole process. Crazy good. I sorted through a dozen recipes before I settled on this one. You never let me down.
You good sir are clearly "The swammie of your pastrami!"
haha good one ^^
The commie of your pastrami
Niiiiiccce!
Chef John, I enjoy your channel. Very informative and entertaining. I've seen a number of videos on turning a regular corned beef into a pastrami and they all talk about rinsing and changing the water to get rid of the saltiness of the meat. Your thoughts?
I like the dirty oven, looks like a real kitchen,
You shouldn't try to do jokes. They're not your thing.
1:33 "no matter how innapropriate it may look or feel" that meat angle lmao
It look's Yummy yummy delicioso.
Looks gorgeous
Hey shouldn't you score the fat side and then rub the spices in?
That's some fine work.
omg. hello. how did it take me so long to find you. OH man. you are very quickly going to become one of my favorite you tubers. awesome laid back home cooking by a very interesting and charismatic confident cook! yay!
+Taelor Gutierrez do the easy chicken tikka masala....oh yeaahhhh. my wife said its the best thing she has ever tasted. true story.
Ima try this I hope it turns out yummy
it's 1:30 am here....you mock me with the deliciousness of your pastrami while I eat a bag of chips....crying commencing now
I'm going to try this with some sauerkraut
Gary Lamb just threw mine in the oven
Typically a brisket flat is used but you are going to need to brine it for a couple of days to make it corned beef. A good ratio to start with for a brine is 1 cup of salt and sugar to one gallon of water with a couple of stalks of celery and spices of your choice.
"I'm going to bite into this so you can see how awesome it is."
I hate you Chef John T^T
You can get corned beef in a can...just like you can get stew or chili in a can. Homemade (or in the case of pastrami, from a deli) is SO much different and better!
I put this in my Masterbilt smoker for 3 hours at 250, then into an oven on a rack and covered over water to steam for another 2 hours. Love the rub Chef, perfect flavor
This is the exact question was going to ask about. I will be using the smoker all weekend so I was thinking about doing the same process for 230 for six hours
@@pantryonlyrecipes smoke it for 1-2 hours, then wrap it with beef broth for another 1-2 hours to get that NYC steam effect, you will be much happier with the outcome. I have done 7 or 8 pastramis this way and it comes out much better and moister. The 3 hour smoke was a bit dry. Cook at 200 to 250 maximum, I am doing a video on this very soon🙏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🍻
@@2AChef-n-BBQ Wonderful
@@2AChef-n-BBQ I’ll have my smoker going this weekend, so I can’t wait for the video unless it’s tomorrow. Will it have the pastrami crust though?
@@pantryonlyrecipes yes, wrap it tight like a brisket with about 6 ounces of broth or Campbells consume and finish cooking for an hour or 2, then let it rest and cool for an hour or 2, open the package and tent the top for another hour and the crust sticks. You will get some crumbling if you have a thick crust, but the coriander and pepper will hold to the meat
I've got to try that recipe. John, you have me thinking now.
i swear the fat side was down when you put it in the oven..
We didn't have foil in the house and with this virus stay home policy I decided to use an oven bag. Didn't poke any holes in it since it's at such a low heat. Just curious, "Was that decision, Kosher?" Lol
this is exactly what i'm feeling. chef, you're awesome!
It's taking forever for me to get the tin out of my mind when I see corned beef mentioned in American recipes. That's corned beef in the UK. Canned, and from somewhere in South America. Tasty, but now I know it's not the real thing. Your corned beef is our salt beef. Unfortunately not regularly available, and never spiced. NOW I KNOW!!!! I will be making my own from now on, and if I were younger???????? Now that I've been eddicated, here's looking forward to enjoying so many more of your recipes!
I've never seen 'corned beef' that looks like that before (ie like steak). The only corned beef I know is the stuff that comes in tins.
He says "Quick and easy" at the end, LOL, seriously?!
It is an actual brisket that has been corned, rather than the ground stuff found in cans.
Xavier Mettle Supermarkets around NYC do carry cured raw corn beef. Easy to find around St Patricks day, and through out the year, but it's not something available always, like, hot dogs.
"Corned beef" simply means it has been brined in a mixture large grained rock salt ("corns"). Obviously this works as a preservative, hence it was canned and used as a troop ration during the great war. Most real delis and butchers carry it.
it is also known as silverside if you come from Australia or New Zealand
jaytok7 Silverside is not brisket in Australia or in the UK. They are two different cuts of meat.
freshly ground black pepper...
smoked paprika...
ground coreander...
some dry mustard...
some white pepper...
some cayenne...
and some nitroglycerin with a dash of napalm because until now it was kinda too mild! =P
hahaha...
love ya cheff John! =D
"Quick and easy." Takes two days.
raedwulf61 The actual effort is fairly small and takes little time. Granted, oven and refrigerator time is about 30 hours, but you don't have to watch it.
To follow the method used by Katz's Deli in NY, it will take you a minimum of two days longer than this. And requires a smoker and a steamer. Everything is relative.
If you start from a fresh brisket, it takes a minimum of nine days. But this method would take seven, because the other five days is spent corning the beef.
I make mine from scratch all the time. Involves making a brine with all the seasonings and Prague powder, brining a whole brisket for 8-10 days, removing it, draining it and cleaning off the spice mix, seasoning it with mustard, coriander seed, and coarse black pepper, and then slow cooking it for around 8-12 hours (I've tried smoking it, it's just not my thing).
While I'm sure Chef John's recipe is fine, when you make it from scratch by yourself, you'll really appreciate just how good home made pastrami can be (or you can go full corned beef seasoning), and you'll never buy another pre-packaged corned beef again.
I found a huge brisket in the store around St Patricks that was labeled $4 for some reason among all the $15+ cuts. I didn't wanna do the regular corned beef so I smoked that puppy for 15hrs real low and yes it was amazing even compaired to the NYC delis.
Dont be afraid to try this out it's awesome!
This is not pastrami :)
You should get out more.
Not even close to pastrami....you simply steamed a corned beef brisket. Pastrami is smoked.......I'm sure it tasted great, but it's not pastrami.
hence the smoked paprika... its obviously fake go to 4:20 and listen for a bit..
1337flight I agree with Max, it's simply a well seasoned brisket, NOT pastrami. It's still a braised brisket at the end of the day......
1337flight Smoked paprika does not magically turn a brisket into pastrami. I've commented here several times and NEVER does John reply. I see he doesn't reply to a lot of people. He should realize, if it weren't for contributors to his videos, his channel wouldn't be what it is. Pretty self centered and unappreciative if you ask me. 'Hey everyone watch my videos so I can make money and I won't reply to comments or answer questions, I'M CHEF JOHN!' SNOB
lolol ok He makes free videos we get to watch them for whatever reason we want and he makes $(or add block). If he thought we would stop watching because he doesn't reply he would reply. everybody and everything is based of of greed and self fulfillment... second i mean its well seasoned brisket that simulates the look and taste of pastrami... lets just call it pastrami or not i guess more accuracy in language is better but its also true that over specification of language makes it harder to communicate efficiently... take your pick i guess.......... also we are all snobs its just where we see the cut of of respectable......
Xelbiuj LOL! Are you in grade school? Who calls people a faggot anymore? And "I'm the stupid one"?? Grow up! Now I'm going to go make 'fake pastrami' out of tuna fish..........dumb ass
I've seen all of the pastrami meats tutorials and this was the best. However, I still want to start the meat from scratch instead of starting with corned beef.
I have a gas stove.
An old old video but you got my interest! This seems like a prime candidate for a smoker too! Instead of the oven for 6 hours, how bout 6-8 hours in a smoker? Not sure about wrapping it though.
@laurisc89 Because any deli that is moving its product along, in this case a pastrami, it will be warm and sliced thin and a pound of it will be in fresh bread. It mite be fatty but the taste is memorable.
Well, now I haven't done my homework AND i'm hungry.
Thanks, Chef John.
Im going to try this along with the cottage fries.... MmmmmMmmm!
oohh maaaaaan hungerrrr!!!! in my tummmyyy
YUM!
Alton Brown has a really good technique for making corned beef from a beef brisket. Just search for "Good Eats corned beef" and you'll see the episode - good stuff!
Guaranteed at least one belly laugh with chef john!
Could I leave out the paprika and smoke this in a kettle grill, then steam it? It's more work but do you think it's worth trying for a more traditional Pastrami-like result?
Love your show.
This video was down right cruel to watch since pastrami is one of my all time fav sandwich and it looked so GOOD! What's really stupid is I didn't even know pastrami came from corned beef, I never even thought about it. Thanks for educating me!
Chef john, or anyone else on here who may know, i'm irish from rural kentucky, so i'm familiar with the brisket cut and seasonings for corn beef(even tho many irish,scottish folks here like lt, i don't believe it is a celtic derived recipe), and of course we love it with cabbage,potatoes,carrots. I like pastrami, but i saw on a show, (think it was Man vs. Food) that pastrami was made from a navel cut of beef, which i would assume is more tender, since brisket is about the toughest piece of meat on a cow, anyway, does the navel cut have a specific name ? I've never seen a piece of meat at the butcher shop or grocery store that says "navel cut"and here, since it is rarely served anywhere, even the meat guys don't know
my mouth was watering...
What internal temperature are you looking for when removing from the oven? Last time I made your recipe the internal temp was only 124 after 6 hours so I let it go 2 more hours to get to 155.
It's just a particular cut of beef, you could get it in any butchers or supermarket. It's beautiful cooked slow, the meat just falls apart.
it is hard to get Pastrami in germany and if you find some it is totally overpriced -.-, so I did this and it turned out amazing
Win twice and we'll talk.
Lovely!
"No matter how inappropriate" at the exact moment the pastrami looked like a spread eagle centerfold pic from a 1985 Hustler mag. Hilarious!
No smoke, no pastrami but I would definitely eat it.
I printed the recipe from the blog, finally found a print link, just one page with a little photo! Somebody commented they got a brisket and ended up with roast beef. Be sure to get a CORNED beef brisket. They usually come in heavy sealed plastic with juices, especially St. Paddy's Day, but often year round. They keep for quite awhile in the fridge. Do not freeze them.
I freeze them all the time. I get them on sell during St Patrick's week. Take them out of the wrapping, wash them off and vacuum seal them. They have turned out great year round.
YUMMY!!!!ILOVEIT!!!
Take it to the next level and steam the next day until it falls apart. Use to do that in my deli it will melt in your mouth. Quick recipe use to take me a week to make it with the marination process.
Tell us how to do all that. I want the good shit.
so yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks soooooo good. It's worth trying but I'll have to get some of the spices, just bought a big container of chef's coarse pepper, thought it was too coarse but just right for rubs and ok for general use. I see the rye bread must have been purchased because I couldn't find a recipe for that style. I've never seen any quite like that in our stores, nice color, soft, moist, no carraway seeds.
I found a recipe for a bread machine only kneaded by hand (I would do it all in my Kitchen Aid) that looks almost like what Chef John used. Google A Flock in the City Homemade Pumpernickel Rye Bread . . . choose first link. Lotsa photos, last one looks so good, a little darker than Chef John's.
i think you're confused- he purchased a brined corned beef from the grocery store and used it in this recipe. it is sold in the US as 'corned beef' when it has been brined.
Chef John, I just made this this week using a Montreal smoked meat style rub.
It's not as good as Schwartz's but it's better than I can get here in Albany.
Thanks.
Unless you live near a nice deli, like a Katz's or some such, it's probably going to be better than what you can buy. Like he said, it's definitely going to be better than what you can snag at your local Mega Mart. Plus, I personally think it's just cool to say you made your own. :D
Corned beef is meant to be boiled in quite a bit of water which removes a lot of the salt from the brine that gets inside the slab. Try tasting the cooking liquid sometime and see how much salt comes out into the water. I can't imagine how salty this must taste! I think the raw corned beef is supposed to be soaked at least overnight in the frig to remove some of that salt.
Re Ja actually it's not salty at all if you rinse it when it comes out of the package. I cook corned beef regularly, and I've never boiled it or soaked it, but it is very tasty in a pressure cooker with only 2 cups of water for 90 minutes. Then use the liquid to cook your veg in, very, very tasty indeed
Cool chef.
To any UK chefs out there. Obviously what we call 'corned beef' is completely different to what he calls 'corned beef'. Would anyone be able to tell me what the UK equivalent would be? Is it just a special cut of beef?
It's brined brisket aka "salt beef" when it's boiled
MrBenjimagoo awesome, thanks man!
I think the Fray Bentos tins are exactly this but minced and formed like a meat loaf.
No, they are not. What we call "corned beef" and "pastrami" in the US are both cured beef brisket. The pastrami has been smoked, the corned beef has not. They are both great in sandwiches.
I read that the word "corn" in corned beef is another term for coarse salt grains (grains of corn, grains of salt). So really no mystery here at all. www.etymonline.com/word/corn
Looks like a great recipe. Down in the south where a hot kitchen is only welcoming in winter, Instant pot pastrami is our go to recipe. Basically the same spice rub. Used a tad of diluted stubbs liquid smoke & brown sugar for precook rub. Fat side up cook...Only takes 55 minutes! Let cool.rub in a tad of molasses then cover generously with spice rub. Wrap up and store in lower rack of fridge for at least 24 hrs ...3 days better. Unwrap set oven at 275' heat for 30-45 minutes fat side down. Remove let rest or slice.
Great with horseradish mustard or mayo & horseradish & dill pickle!
Cheers...
