Nearly three weeks in the making, but well worth the effort. Started with a 7.5 pound choice Angus brisket flat from Sam's.

That's absolutely gorgeous pastrami! Perfectly done, kudos!
Dang it looks so good :-D. I've been getting lazy with my pastami and buying the corned beef and just smoking. Only done the whole process twice. Thanks for sharing!

This was my first attempt at curing meat (other than beef jerky). Very pleased with the results.

That looks incredible, it makes me want to get up and drive all the way home for some of mine. ( I'm 75 miles away taking a class for work until Saturday) I've done the store corned beef and it was really good. But doing my own was over the top. I will still stock up on corned beef when they go on sale for St Paddys day. For when I don't want to wait as long. I will say this it sure beats store bought beyond belief.
That's some fine looking pastrami! I bet it was well worth the wait

I haven't cured my own, just do the store bought corned beef, which comes out great. And if the "easy" way that I do it is as good as it is, doing it homemade has to be a total homerun.

Care to share a little more about the process? Would be appreciated....

Not the OP, but I started mine using Alton Brown's recipe.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/corned-beef-recipe.html
I've tweaked it over the years; I use tenderquick rather than saltpeter. Usually leave out the allspice too.
This is corned beef recipe, technically, but it smokes up and tastes pretty darn good! :clap2:

And it's hard to go back to not doing this. We like to slice up a bunch and vac pack and freeze it. I need to make another batch sometime soon!
question - if I want to take the easy way out and not do it from scratch - do I buy a cured corned beef or an uncured corned beef? Thank you
That looks really good

I used Meathead Goldwyn's recipe on Amazing Ribs.Com

Curing the brisket was very easy, as it turns out. Really no reason to buy a premade corned beef, unless time is a big issue for you.

I would play it safe and use a cured corned beef.
