Soak N' Smoke Pastrami Kit

Since I was raised in New England and lived on Long Island for eight years I really miss GOOD Pastrami now that I’m living in the mid-West. I’ve been so desperate for the real thing that I actually paid to have Katz’s Deli Pastrami shipped to me. At $40 a pound it’s pretty cost prohibitive. I’ve been smoking meat for a few years, so I decided to try to make my own Pastrami using the Rugged Rubs kit, and I’m glad that I did! The flavor was exactly what I was looking for and the meat was moist and tender. The instructions are simple and straightforward. It was well worth the 10 day wait while the brisket was brining. The brine mixture and the rub mixture produced a Pastrami that I’m proud to share with friends and family. I’ll be making another batch soon and Rugged Rubs will be my choice again. Sure, I could make my own brine and rub, but at this point I’m perfectly happy with this product. Also, they provide great customer support. My questions were promptly answered.Give Rugged Rubs a try. Follow their instructions and you won’t be disappointed!

I followed the instructions and brined the brisket for 10 days. I had never made pastrami before and it turned out amazing. I’ve smoked a lot of meats (brisket, ribs, turkey, chicken, steaks, burgers, pork shoulders, etc) and I honestly think this is the best thing I ever cooked. Thank you!

Long delivery time so plan ahead and little expensive for what it makes. But the taste is awesome if you’re a pastrami a few times a year.

Really easy to make killer pastrami out of so meany different cuts.I've done Beef Plate Ribs, 10lbs of Top Sirloin, Big hunks of London Broil....all came out killer.

I pride myself on my Texas brisket so naturally, I have tried to make pastrami several times. The first one was okay and the other two went straight to the trash can. They were just too salty. Well, we recently moved to Montana and wanted to invite friends and neighbors over for St. Patty's Day. I am not a fan of corn beef so I said I would do a pastrami. Terrified I researched recipes and blogs. Then I found this Soak and Smoke kit. I bought it with enough time to brine for a week and was plagued with nerves everyday. On the smoke day, I woke up at 5 am to find my smoker went out and wanted to cancel the party. I didn't and moved the patrami to the oven. Naturally, the pastrami didn't reach temp till 430 and everyone was set to arrive at 5. I sliced the pastrami and set it on the dinner table. For the first few minutes, my house was silent. No kids fussing, no grimace on people's faces.... just joy. That first bit was WORLD CLASS!!! I am so impressed and am immediately ordering a new kit and two more for my dad and brother. Do not waste time or money. Order here and be pleasantly surprised!!! Highly Recommended !!!!
