I've got a frozen store bought corned beef in the freezer that I want to make some pastrami with. Everything I've seen on the net says to soak it in water for at least 8hrs to get the excess salt out. Does anyone see any issues with just putting the frozen corned beef in water then in the fridge and letting it defrost and soak at the same time as opposed to defrosting first, then soaking?
I'm thinking it shouldn't matter much, but just want to double check. I probably won't be able to smoke it until Friday anyway, so I'm in no rush.
Thanks.
