I bought an uncooked brisket that is packaged as corned beef. It has been injected with a sodium solution, and has a small packet of seasoning inside of the package. What is the best way to make this into pastrami?

Scott, Check out Mainely Dave's Cookshack BBQ page. He's got two recipes for pastrami. Good info. Hope this helps.

I think I posted a recipe that I used in the past as well... Search for pastrami and you'll find quite a few hits...
A couple of tips... The corned beef has a high salt content, so soak it in clod water for a while to get some of the salt out of it. I soaked mine for only a couple of hours the first time and it was too salty. Then next one I soaked for 24 hours and it was much better. Also, leave the salt out of whatever rub you use.
