So I love a good pastrami sandwich. Bought a brisket flat tonight so finally going to make my own. Plan on using Meathead Goldberg’s recipe from Amazing Ribs. Anyone ever done one, and have any recommendations?

I. Love. Pastrami.
Was introduced to pastrami sammiches by my old boss at Leo’s Deli in Charlote in the late ’70’s.

Yep, love a good pastrami sandwich! One of the best ones I’ve had came from Primanti Brothers in Pittsburg PA. The original restaurant made their name by providing truckers with a good meal that they could grab and go. So their sandwiches would have their choice of meat, cheese, slaw, and french fries. If you have never been and get up in the PA or WV areas it’s worth the stop.

The First Primanti Bros. Restaurant wasn’t a restaurant at all. It was a cart. That’s how we started. Awesome, right?

Find a local bakery and buy the freshest loaf of rye they have. Slather on Gulden’s.

Sometimes. Although we did Thanksgiving in West Jeff and I enjoyed an alcohol free weekend. So expecting bourbon could be a risk.

I also love specialty mustards, but haven't had any in a long time. Only a couple or three of us who like mustard, so my wife rarely buys it, and when she does, it's usually a standard yellow, honey, or spicy.
OP
Well get yourself all healed up and we can have a mountain cookout and a mustard fest. 😜
I make a grainy Stout mustard. It is rather spicey. I use it as an ingredient in German recipes.
ETA: Pastrami recipe from Chacuterie and as mentioned above, err on the long side of brine time.

Have any of those bottles been opened?
If they were in my house most of them would be 1/2 or less filled the first week (or day) they showed up.

How did the pastrami turn out?
Could try some of this stuff instead of mustard.

A few have, most not. I’ve got acid reflux so bad that I can’t drink very much anymore, but I still collect.
Ive eaten a lot of pastrami over the years (all you have to do is look at me) and once youve had good pastrami out of a steamer in NYC, you cant eat it anywhere else. I bought some at Wegmans last week and it wasnt fit to eat. I knew better. Good luck with yours.
OP
Pastrami is coming out of the brine tonight to soak in a pot of water and desalinate. Need to change the water at least once. Hitting the smoker tomorrow.

Re. the Lusty Monk mustard, a friend who is a legit great cook keeps telling me about it, and it's on my TODO list to pick up a jar during the holiday break. Here's the store locator:
