Ive done traditional brisket pastrami's several times, but this was the first dry cured pastrami I've done. And the first time to do venison. I wasn't really sure what to expect. But the recipe is legit. I didn't get to the milligram on the salts like Hank Shaw says but followed it pretty close.

He simply dry-aged it in his fridge for a few days with a coriander rub. I'm sure it was good, but it's not pastrami. It's pastrami-ish.



Oh look, a stupid frick.

wouldn't that apply to all holidays?


No

this is how we judge holidays, then it has to be Christmas, no?



I guess that depends on what you think the actual point of Christmas is..
That's what your mom was just saying. I'll put that in my notes for next time.

He says it will last up to two weeks in the fridge. Or you can vacuum seal and freeze it.

Leftovers and bourbon

Made some venison backstrap pastrami.

Followed Hank Shaw's recipe. Turned out good

Recipe

Trimmed backstrap of sliver skin. Was about a 2.5lb strap.


Dry brine w/ cure rubbed in



Sealed in a big ziplock for 6 days



Took out, rinsed/soaked and rubbed with cracked pepper and coriander



On the offset smoker with oak and pecan. 250deg until 145 internal










Surprised how well it turned out really. Not dry like I thought it might be. Will make some killer sandwiches/ruebens this weekend.

Cpt. Avery's in Monroe. Or Randall's Cpt. Avery's as it's now called. They will have the shrimp and oysters. Won't have fresh (live) crab, but will have fresh crab meat and frozen gumbo crabs.

Also, there is a Chinese restaurant in Tallulah that gets fresh shrimp and fresh blue crab from time to time. It's called Chopsticks.
