Pastrami out of round?
Not in my neighborhood!

Point yes, flat maybe, round never.

In his previous post called "Living on the Edge" he said this was made from a corned beef.

Jack -- Looks good to me! If you are please that's all that matters.

Cadillac.
Yes it it started life as a corned beef round rather than a corned beef brisket.

Wheelz i was merely observing that in the "Pastrami community" brisket is the meat of choice.
I agree that if Jack likes round that is all that matters.
He does take nice pictures!

dick - Im sure you know that corned beef is made from the deckle, not the flat of a brisket, and not round. The picture Jack posted sure looks like all the corn beef products Ive turned into pastromi.

Perhaps there are regional differences?
In my part of the world, corned beef is commonly available as flats or points or as corned beef round. In order of preference most in the NE would choose for pastrami: point cut which is very well marbled. flat ,less well marbled and last, corned round which is leaner than the 2 brisket cuts and usually used as supermarket corned beef sandwich meat.
Best.

Jack - looks great!!!! Makes me want to make a sandwich on a toasted french roll with mustard, and sliced pickle. How did you make it? Which cooker? Looking forward to details so I can make one. thx!!!!

No offense to anyone, but I see a lot of comments about what is and what isn't.

My whole idea is if it suits your purpose and you like it, keep on trucking.

Amen ezgoin!
