Congrats on your first pastrami. I have yet to do my own as well. I just hope it turns out as good as yours
It was 8-9lb prime brisket from Costco after the trim.
Do you recall what it weighed before you trimmed?
Interesting…figured there would be more loss with that style trim job. I guess that is 25% but still. I bought a 15 pounder from Costco today that I plan to trim similarly and corn, we shall see how she trims up.
Was gonna say, if I were to trim in that style I’d expect more like 9-10 left from a 15-16lb. The 15 pounder I just scored is much like you describe. Lately, I’ve noticed Costco’s packers having a slightly different shape/trim than I’ve historically gotten there.
Interesting trimming. Is that the point and flat? The pic looks like the whole piece is almost same height.
Thanks
I do this for every St Paddy's day. I know it's not true pastrami and it's not really Irish. But it is delicious.
Safe the crunchy, barky bits and make a corned beef hash with runny eggs on top. Might be the best thing I've ever eaten, period.
