Instructions

How to Cook Ranch Style Pastrami on Rye:

  1. Plan ahead: Rinse that Corned Beef Brisket under cold water. Put it in a large pot, cover with water, and let it sit in the fridge for 6-8 hours, changing the water midway. Dry it and leave it in the fridge overnight.
  2. Fire up your smoker or pellet grill to 225°F.
  3. Slather that brisket with mustard as a binder. Rub it good with the pastrami rub.
  4. Smoke it fat-side-up for 4-6 hours or until the internal temp hits 165-170°F.
  5. Wrap the brisket in heavy-duty foil and grill it until the temp reaches 203-205°F, about 2-4 hours.
  6. Let the pastrami rest in the foil for 20-30 minutes, then slice it up.
  7. Toast your rye bread in butter, spread some mustard, stack the pastrami slices, and top with sauerkraut or coleslaw. Serve it up with dill pickles. 

How to Make Ranch Style Pastrami Rub:

  1. Grind those peppercorns and coriander seeds, then mix in the other ingredients. Keep it a bit coarse, no need for it to be powdery.
