Smoked Pastrami Steak

Homemade pastrami is incredibly delicious— but it’s a lot of work. I don’t always have the fridge space or patience to brine a whole brisket for a week. This method of smoking a steak to mimic the classic pastrami flavors is my way of getting the taste I love without the long wait. While it skips the briny flavor, this method is absolutely worth it. Paired with spicy Dijonnaise, zesty slaw, and rich Gouda, this sandwich deserves its own spotlight. That’s why it’s in the book—you need this.<
